Dear Jackie and Reggie,
Thanks for that, Jackie! I thought a net book was some kind of electronic book file. I've heard of those but never actually downloaded any except for Bookshare's, and I can't even do that since the new site went live.
My apologies for explaining the obvious to you. I'm a fairly crack proofreader and can scan, too, but how I learned is a testament to this list because about all I knew about a computer when I started volunteering was how to read and answer email and spell computer. Now I read and answer email, do my Bookshare thing, play on the net a little and spell computer. When I try and get technical, I pretty much cause confusion or, on the plus side, get corrected so I learn something new myself. 

Always with love,

Lissi

Lissi, a netbook is just a small pc w/xp home on it, a gig of ram, &
less than a 12 inch screen. They're highly portable, &, yeah, u can
easily proofread a bookshare book on 1 as well as many other things.
Shoot! My laptop is basically 1 except it has a bigger screen.

Dear Reggie,
If I understand what a net book is properly I believe you can't validate it as is. Have you validated books for Bookshare before? When the new site went up we began referring to validating as proofreading. For volunteers getting 
a book approved has three steps.

First one volunteer has to physically scan a hard copy print book and
submitted to what used to be the step one page and is now the check out a
book page.
Then a second volunteer selects the book, checks it out, proofreads it and 
checks it in.
Then if the word, page number, page break and copyright ducks are in a row, 
bookshare adds it to the collection and sends letters announcing the good
news to the submittor and proofreader.

Always with love,

Lissi

I have just gotten a Netbook that I will be validating on with a focus 40 
braille display.  I will be using Word.  Are there any pitfalls I need to
know about in validating with Word.  Tricks and tips, please? (smiles)
Thanks a bunch.
  Reggie
