Sarah, as of now, bookshare won't accept a bookthat
was downloaded as txt in any other format.. That's
what happened to me the first time I did a txt file. I
validated in Word, converted to rtf, tried to upload
in rtf and then found out it had to be txt.. When I
converted to txt, all formatting changes I'd made,
include hard page breaks, disappeared.
