Hi, Cindy. Whenever I have submitted books, the default rating is fair. I have never seen a poor rating as an option.

Thanks, Jill. Monica's idea is to take books from the download list that are rated Excellent, then Good, etc., and the Fair books we were talking about are on the download list. I was thinking that maybe some of the Fair books were rated that ways by the automatic rater as default, and really were better than fair, but MIckey says the default is Poor, so my theory that the Fair books aren't really Fair but were mistakenly rated is wrong.
