That's too bad. And it's not like it would be hard for people who use
Openbook to convert their books to .rtf before they submit. I guess if they
don't know they can do it, they won't do it. Do the volunteers who join
Bookshare, and I'm asking because I can't remember myself, get specific
instructions encouraging .rtf submissions whenever possible, including using
OpenBook or Kurzweil?

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.
