Hi Scott:
You can't do that because you'd have to resubmit the book and so the original
person who submitted it wouldn't get the credit. And also you'd have to reject
the ark.
Many of the ark file are text books. I really dislike validating those.
However, I try to validate 1 text book amonth.
I just validated a book about Crumwell. It took some time because it wasn't
scanned with 2 page mode, I had to add the page breaks.

I'll be honest, I've tried validating, and unless the book is something I
like, I don't feel comfortable validating it. That's why I usually scan, and
then validate the same book. My question is, could I download an ark file from
the step 1 page and convert it to rtf and then put it back on the step 1 page
so that someone else might validate it?

I also have openbook. So if there's an ark book on the download page that
you're dying to read, let me know and I will validate it. However, it may be
after convention since I am going to the NFB convention.
BTW, 1 of the books that I am working on is an ark. Lately I've ignored
the arks and been doing txt.

Hi All. I think from the scanning discussions most of us use kurzweil
which means all those ark files from openbook can't be validated. I think a
good project for someone like Gisela or any other openbook users would be to
convert .ark to .rtf so more books can be validated. I have an old version of
open book v4.0 I think before switching to Kurzweil a few years ago. I can't
convert .ark files from newer versions of openbook. In fact, the only reason I
still have my old version is that I'm converting some personal and textbook
files to .rtf. I also save kurzweil files as .rtf so I can refer to them
within word when writing papers or reports for school and work.
Just some thoughts.
