Yes, this is quite off-topic. While understandably a frustration, it's got nothing to do whatsoever with JFW. More so as Open Book does its own reading. Any replies generated from this question should be submitted off-list. Also, I would recommend taking your question to a more relative mailing list, likely one dealing specifically with scanning software. Google should help you come up with at least 1 Open Book related mailing list.
