Hi Jake,
Whenever I submit a batch of books, I validate the hardest ones myself. For
example, in that last batch of 13 books, I kept 3 back. They were a guide to
the White House that had a picture or two on each page (I uploaded the book to
Gustavo this evening), a book on dog training that had pictures and double
columns, and a book on witchcraft with lots of symbols in it. I put the easy
books on the download list, really I do.
And I'm aware that some of my books linger on the download list. I keep
track of them, and when a book has lingered for several months, I validate it
myself. In the past week or two, I've validated Goliath by David Harris, Flower
Net by Lisa See and The Fifth Angel by David Wiltse. They all had been on the
download list for 4 months when I picked them up. I also validated 5 x-rated
books, since there are a lot of volunteers who have delicate sensibilities.
In short, I do a lot of validating that no one knows about, other than
Gustavo. So I suggest you do more investigating before you accuse me of not
validating enough. And while we're at it, in the future, if you have any other
problems with my actions, please email me off-list. I don't appreciate you
complaining about me in public.

Hi Carrie,
Great, but we could really use some help validating some of your submissions
that linger on the download list. Since you have the print books it might be
especially helpful if you could process some of the harder non fiction ones.
Unfortunately just running the book through the highspeed scanner doesn't
produce a book that is at the high end of excellent. While it's true that your
books don't have binding issues, it's still often times necessary to read
through the entire book if you really want a finished product that is truly
excellent quality.
It's also unfortunate that so many of your submissions lately people don't
seem to be interested in. I have noted that your submissions are usually
grabbed right away if people are interested in the books, but otherwise they
are grabbed, released quickly, let expire, or are never downloaded.
For instance currently there are 53 books submitted by you on the download
page, 46 of which have never been downloaded, that's about 87%, and 53/385
total books is about 14% of the download list. Me thinks we need to get some of
them processed before we make step 1 grow even more with bulk submissions.
Below I've compiled a list of the books on step 1 done by Carrie so that you
can see if there are any that tickle your fancy.
Thanks as always for all your volunteering Carrie!
