Hello Larry and Robert,
I have also scanned paperbacks on my OpticBook 3600 and, while they're not
perfect, I also haven't noticed a consistent problem with missing characters
from the binding. I'm quite sure the light doesn't go right up to the book
edge, but I also doubt the distance is anything approaching an inch.

I scan paperbacks on my opticbook all the time and haven't noticed that
problem. My wife validates the books and she hasn't mentioned this problem
to me.
