Lissi and I have added several large print books to the collection. Large print here means around 16 point, which is what I've seen on the copyright pages of some of them, so it's not extremely large. Books with this size print scan very well, often with resolution dropping to 200dpi when optimized with my K1000, which allows them to be scanned faster than normal. They have more pages, but their margins tend to be wider as well, so I actually like scanning them because they give very clean and fast scans.

Hi Melissa. I think I've seen books that say something about being in large type in the collection.But I would think these books would present problems for a scanner. OCR programs are usually set up for standard size print, not large print.Just my opinion, Bob----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Smith" <mdsmith25@xxxxxxxx>To: "Bookshare Volunteer List" <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 15, 2010 4:28 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Large Print EditionsI double checked the scanning and proofing manual, but didn't see anything about this in the section on what books are eligible for Bookshare. Can we submit large print editions?Thanks, -- Melissa Smith To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
