Hi, you're not causing any trouble in my opinion. I read the same article and it did say something about volunteers being needed to proof pdf files. I'm wondering why the contradicting statements and exactly what gives. Surely Jim Fruchterman didn't lie in that article, so who's telling the truth and how will we be a part? Have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy Ray" <cindyray@xxxxxxxxx>

Oh, Arghhhh! There was apparently an article which I never read that indicated that some publishers (small ones) would submit their books in pdf format and that they would need to be proofread. The person who asked the question had read this article. It is apparently an article on why volunteers are still an integral part of Bookshare. So this person was wondering how one would proofread such a file. I don't guess I completely understood the question. Sorry to cause all this trouble, for I know pretty much the rules governing volunteering at Bookshare; I just haven't had the time to do it much lately.Thanks for all your help folks. *smile* Cindy Lou On Aug 14, 2010, at 8:10 PM, Monica Willyard wrote:Cindy, we don't accept pdf files or files directly from a publisher. All books we submit are supposed to have paragraphs and page breaks. If a publisher wants to donate a book, it needs to go through Bookshare itself. We aren't supposed to submit e-books that we buy somewhere unless we get prior permission from Bookshare staff. From what I understand from Bookshare staff, e-books we buy somewhere don't have the same legal standing as print books. -- Monica Willyard Visit my GoodReads book shelf at http://www.goodreads.com/plumlipstick To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
