Hi, all.I thought that Bookshare keeps the file that the validator submits to Step Two.
So, if someone wanted to, they could ask for that file and revalidate it.The problem is that not everyone has the time, or the motivation to revalidate something that should've been correctly validated in the first place.
I've come across this a few times myself. Christina----- Original Message ----- From: <17razz@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Again, The reason why they have volunteers resubmit books is explained in the letter to volunteers found on the volunteer homepage where you sign in to your account. To refresh your memory: a books formatting might be lost if an individual were to correct the book.

It's in the collection. It's rated as an excellent scan, but geez,that's far far from the truth!! There are a *ton* of scanner errors in this book! It's so distracting it's difficult reading, whether I try in brailleor using speech. Trouble is, now I'm wanting to see how it ends! Anyway, Do I use the report book quality button on the download page for this book and report the problems that way? It's * so* tempting to fixeverything as I go, but honestly, if I rescanned everybook I read it'd be introuble, not to mention far behind in my course work!(grins) I really, really hope that the new volunteer manual address book qualitystuff like this as far as submitters and validaters alike goes! Honestly, if the validater had only spell checked the book and done the bare minimum the current manual calls for, then that'd explain all these errors. A casein point why we should read every book from cover to cover. Preaching to the choir, I know!
