Hi Cindy, I am finding this particular scanno error of which you speak in some books I have downloaded to read, whether on my computer or on my Flash Card.. It makes me wonder if it is some kind of bug going around.. I told one of my sighted friends about it, and she said it sounds like an ego problem. You know, as in "look after Number One." <lol> I thought that was cute and wanted to share it.
