Cindy,

When Bookshare announces that it will no longer acept TXT submissions, the
books currently on the step 1 page will not disappear.  For an easy
transition, the existing books will be process.  There is no rush to go out
and grab the books for the fear that they will disappear.

And so, Jake and Gerald and John,  when that day
comes, or just before, if the txt books are still on
the download list can I take them to validate? If the
titles don't show up on the download list and aren't
in the collection, then anyone can scan them, and I
wouldn't validate them if I see they've been
rescanned.
