OK, I have been busier today than I expected, and not feeling as well as
I would like, but I think I am game for something not too long. My
husband has to work the graveyard shift tonight, and I probably will
work on something most of the time he is gone so I am not disturbing him
when he does make it home to sleep for a while.
I discovered my sister's Golden Retriever who is spending time at my
house really likes to chew, this morning while I took a short shower he
got my watch and chewed the band all to pieces, an expansion band too.
He isn't on my good boy list at the moment, thank goodness I have a
second watch.
Oh, yeah, after he destroyed the watch band and got scolded, he came in
and hugged me, put his head on my shoulder and acted all contrite--ten
minutes later he had one of the pillows and was scattering stuffing
everywhere. My Labrador doesn't know what to make of it.

Hello Rose,
I would suggest Kes files since you will simply need toload them in
K1000
and go. I will be getting some book scanned here this weekend so if you
would like I can let you know when they are ready and upload them in
Kes.
I will have Eaters of the dead rady later today and plan on dong another
scan here this afternoon.
Let me know. I will check m ail through out the day:)

I am considering validating books finally, I do have some I want to
submit but I want to wait until I get my upgrade to K1000 because of
some table issues.
Anyway, to get started, I have K1000 9.02, Word 2002, and Dux bury 10.5.
I assume that the only file type I cannot consider is Open Book.
Where would I best start, with a KES file, or RTF, or maybe I should
tackle some of the word files? The thing is, I want to do a good job
and so I would like something fairly short to start with, and I am
wondering what file type and which editing program would make the job
the easiest for me. I also have a Braille note with 6.011 so, any
suggestions would be much appreciated.
I think once I get started it won't be as daunting as it seems now, but
at the moment it seems like a major undertaking, and scanning sounds
much easier, but, at the moment I don't have anything I want to scan.

Welcome, both as a volunteer and to the list.

Yes. (smile). Find a book on the list that you think
you'd like to read, download it, and correct it as you
go. If you pick one that's rated Excellent or even,
possibly, good, there probably won't be many
corrections to make. The minimum to do is to make sure
the copyright page is present, make sure there are
page breaks and that there are no missing pages ( by
checking page numbers or checking that the first line
on one page continues the last line on the preceding
page), and run a spell check. Many, if not most, of
us, at least on this list, prefer to do more, but that
isn't required. We read the books and correct as we
go.
When you have finished the book you're working on, you
go to the Upload page and fill in the blanks, then
hit accept. BUT -- WARNING-- you do not have to
finish in the seven days allotted. When you download a
book, count six or seven days (no more than seven)
including that day and mark it on a calendar or note
it somewhere. If you haven't finished the book yet, go
to the Upload and Renew. (There are 3 choices --
Release, Renew and Accept).If you don't want to work
on that particular book either because it has too many
problems (in which case you can reject it) or because
you're not enjoying the book, you can Release it at
any time. The original that you downloaded, not the
copy that you've been fixing, is returned to the
download list.
