In terms of open book, you can go into scanning settings, and change some
things. However, I'm not familiar enough with 8 to really tell you what to
change. I'm sure others on this list are though.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanner Settings Advice, Please?
Hi, All.
Denise and I could use some help here. Denise has scanned one, and
now two, books by Karen Robards for me, and in working on the first one,
Superstition, I've come across a concern. Below is my message to her
and
her response. I really sincerely hope someone can help.
