Hmm, well, depending on the length, I can read a romance novel in an hour or 
two as well, and that's in braille. I can be a pretty rapid reader, and I do 
read every word. Some of these romance novels that get submitted, 
though...even if you didn't read every word, you miss entire lines of text, 
and that's too much. A word here and there might be acceptable...should be, 
especially when they can be easily fixed, but if you're trying to fix scans 
that have entire lines, in some cases, missing, you'd do well just to rescan 
the thing, which is what I hope to do one of these days, unless someone 
beats me to some of them. *smile* I definitely don't fault any submitters 
for anything. It's just a shame that, with all the lists out there, 
particularly this one, it's a shame that someone would submit such material 
when there is help out there for them to improve their scans. If you can 
take a scan like that and make it doable, more power to you, but more people 
can't, I think. Take care.

People often read romances for the general story and not necessarily for
the specifics.  Hence, if the book is scanned good enough that the
individual gets the point of the plot, they may be satisfied.
These books may not necessarily be of high enough quality for the
BookShare collection, but the individual scanning them might find them
more than adequate for their personal needs.
Of course, each individual has a different level of tollerance for such
things.

My sighted wife reads a romance within an hour or 2; so she certainly
doesn't read each word.
These books are story books; and that's it.
