I'm not aware that PQ books cannot scanned. I know that PQ books replace
volunteer-scanned and-proofed books in the collection, but is it true that once
a publisher donates an ebook no volunteers cannot scan and/orproof that book?

page numbers or page breaks in them. That's the way they are sold
to sighted readers, so that's the way the come to Bookshare direct
from the publisher.

>>Hi,
If somebody was interested in doing this it might be helpful. I just recently
downloaded the copies of Naomi Novik's Temeraire adventures series. There is
something I noticed in book one and I know it is true in the first one and I'm
not sure but I can check the others. That one seems to only have section breaks
and no page breaks as well as some very clear spelling errors. I'll check the
others but I'm wondering. If someone still has the copies of these books could
they rescan them and put them up for proofreading? I would like to see if we
can't improve the quality.
Thanks to all and let me know what you guys think,
