Sharon,
The reasoning behind having RTF at the end of the process is to ensure
that
it is easy for bookshare to convert to its needed format easily.
Bookshare's filters can support RTF quite easily but do not support other
proprietary formats such as KES or ARK. It's easier to ask volunteers to
convert material into a standard format when they complete validating than
atempting to program more filters. As you can tell from recent
discussions,
their time is quite taken up with other projects.

Oh, I guess I never noticed this before since I always have downloaded RTF
files prior to these two.
Thanks for the clarification.

no, you need to upload in RTF except for brf files, I believe.
