E's comments about Kurzweil made me start to wonder about something. I noticed on the list of books to validate that there are lots of them with formats of KES and ARC. Do the scanning tools have the ability to convert/save the output into an RTF file? I'd like to suggest that if they do that perhaps books should be submitted in that format so all of us can have the opportunity to validate any book. There are a number of books waiting that I'd REALLY like to validate but can't because I can't handle those formats. any thoughts?
