Hi Christina. Library book covers can be a bear to scan. Sometimes trying grayscale will work on them. If you can't get a clean scan of the jacket, you can just let Bookshare's new tool fill in the short synopsis for you when you submit and either write a long synopsis or ask your proofreader to help you with writing one. Some book covers just can't be scanned, even when you've got a great scanner and software.

I'm getting ready to submit a book I borrowed from the library. It scanned great... Except for the front and back flaps and the back cover. This book is a hard back and it's got that shiny, plastic covering to protect the paper jacket. I can't get these parts to scan well. Any advice? I'm using Finereader7. Thanks.
