I read both books cover to cover. They do not need work or I would have rejected them while validating them or fixed them up.

What Kelby mentions here is what I was going to
suggest might be the problem. A book may look
perfect--no obvious scannos, broken lines, missing
pages, etc., and may have a 99 percent K1000 rating,
but if one actually reads it, it may have a lot of
scanning errors that didn't show up, like Kelby's
example of chaff for Charis, and scannos that I've
come across in books recently like lie for he. I can't
offhand remember others, but there were plenty of them
that I had to replace by hitting replace and going to
each one rather than hitting replace all for fear of
changing a word that was being used correctly. That
would make reading a book unenjoyable and would cause
a reader to suggest rescanning, imo
