I think the point here is common user courtesy and good programming protocol.
As a programmer, if you ask
the user for information, tell him/her that he/she did it right--with
thanks--or tell him/her what he/she did wrong and provide enough information
for the error(s) to be corrected. You should never never just leave the user
in space wondering if his submission just got dropped in the bit bucket.

Yeah, and submitters are thanked but proofreaders are not. I agree with you,
Evan. It is a courtesy.

You may be right that the automatically generated response is not necessarily
an indication of appreciation. But what does no response at all indicate?

As for me, I don't care if I am thanked. It is only an automatically
generated computer response and so is no indication of appreciation. What I do
care about is some reassurance that I have done everything right and was
successful. If being returned to my download page is that confirmation it will
do, but I do feel more comfortable with a more explicit acknowledgment of my
success.

You're automatically returned there Cindy! A nice feature would be for
proofreaders to hear the same "Thank You For
Submitting Your Book" message which scanners receive.

Were you guys automatically returned to your checked-out book page or did
you go there yourselves?
