I think Larry brings up a good point here.
It isn't the time the proofreader has the book that counts, it's the quality
of the results.
If someone consistently turns in books that have lots of errors in them,
then that's what they should be reprimanded for.

Think I'll weigh in here. The last time I knew, all that was technically
required of proofreaders was that the page count be correct, the title page
be
in tact and all of the copyright info should be there. if I'm wrong, I
appologize. the philosophy of bookshare was "if it's good enough for you as
a
scan, it's good enough for bookshare'. as for the quick turn-around on some
books, some of us work in teams. I scan a book, give it to my wife, she
proofs
it very carefully and then we process it through the bookshare system making
it
look like it was grabbed and 'jiffy proofed'. i assure you it was not. But
i
don't believe people who grab a book, spot check it for errors, ensure that
copyright and title page info are present all in 15 minutes or so are doing
something wrong. if bookshare wants thoroughly proofed books, they need to
change the system to ensure that nothing less is acceptable. An analysis
could
be done on a submitted book and then again on the final checked-in book and
if
the same high bad word count still exists, reject the book.
