Hi, Judy, Kim here. You may be very well right. The thing is, when I read my
email messages, I read the most recent ones first and proceed through the
list until I've read the oldest ones. Regards, Kim. P.S.: Good for you. It's
my opinion that the folks at Bookshare should take heed for if they want
excellent quality books, whether as daisy or brf files, they wouldn't want
to sabotage the hard work of scanners and proofreaders. Think of the
embarrassment they'd suffer.  K.
