My understanding is that the publisher donated books come in epub format and not pdf. I'm wondering if he'd gotten a pdf from another site and was wanting to donate it to Bookshare. I don't believe that this is acceptable, though.

A friend of mine asked me about this. I was a little surprised to have the question; that individual doesn't regularly volunteer. Not sure why the individual would even have been doing this, but I think he has his answer now. Thank you.

Where are people getting pdf files to proofread? I believe that as things stand, what we submit for addition to the Bookshare collection needs to be a scanned book. Please elaborate on what you're asking, will you? As far as how one would proofread a book without paragraph marks, I'd say it'd be best to reject such a submission. It would take less work to rescan the book than it would be to compare an OCRed copy to the hard copy to insert paragraph marks. Just my opinion though.

Question is this: the PDF files from some publishers come out one paragraph. How do we proofread those? Inquiring minds want know. I, personally, didn't know we did. *smile* Someone asked me if it had come up before on this list.
