Hi, Tom. That probably is exactly what happens. When you submit a book, it's pretty much instantaneously on the download page. A validator probably grabbed it, and it's now waiting admin approval. That's where books that aren't on the download page usually get tied up. Take care.

I submitted a book weeks ago, and I have yet to see it in that list. Maybe it zipped through the system while I wasn't looking, but I can't find it in Bookshare's collection, so I doubt it. Maybe the upload failed, but it sure didn't look that way at the time.

So are you saying that there is a step that lies between "awaiting validation" and "available on the system." in which the book totally disappears from all lists, and is just in Marissa's hands? That could explain my situation. Tom
