Hi, I don't see why you should apologize for what you happen to say. I agree
with you. I think Bookshare should be able to get into the position of
saying to their publishing partners that their books are not readable,
hence, why should they use those files if the publishers aren't planning any
sort of effort to insure readability of their offerings. I think you are
right, Jackie. Regards, Kim.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] publisher quality--a real disappointment!
Well I pulled down my 1st pq book today. I expected to se, uh, well,
publisher quality. What I'm seeing is lots of words run together, sometimes
3 at once, which makes it a rather difficult & tedious reading experience.
Somehow the eutopia of perfect books is exploding in our faces, & I can only
wonder why. I hate to say it, but it surely seems as though the
volunteer-submitted books are often better.
I'm not complaining--I love it that publishers are giving books to us--but
I'm wondering why these problems? Surely a spellcheck would have picked them
up. & now that the book is in the collection, is there anything at all that
can be done to improve the quality?
Folks, this is beyond sad! Ok, yall, rant over. I'll shut up now.
