Hello Cindy,
I know it is not up to us but considering the cost of software and scanners
$2.50 is not going to make anyone rich. Plus is man y ways to do a good
validation it can take as long as a scan. Considering it is not money paid
out, or is it for those not using the site, making them both $2.50 seems
reasonable.
Just my $0.02:)

Yes,Kaitlyn, you understand perfectly. And as Robert
(I think) said, a lot of us have complained about this
for some time. While many, perhaps most, of you know
clean up your work carefully before submitting, so
that the validator has little to do, there are still
people who scan, maybe do a spell-check or not, and
submit. Since many people who validate take the time
to do so carefully and clean up those mistakes rather
than rejecting them out of hand, they deserve more
than 50 cents credit.
ADMINISTRATORS: I understand that maybe when bookshare
was just getting started you wanted to encourage
submissions and maybe that's why so much credit was
given for them, but MAY I SUGGEST THAT NOW THAT THERE
ARE SO MANY BOOKS IN THE COLLECTION AND SO MANY BOOKS
ON THE PAGE ONE DOWNLOAD LIST THAT NEED TO VALIDATED
THAT THE CREDITS BE REVERSED, OR AT LEAST MADE EQUAL?
Maybe $1.50 for either submission or validation, if
you don't want to up it from $3 to $5.
