Definitely! In fact, whether you use Kurzweil or OpenBook, if images are kept,
some of those files can be absolutely mammoth, so even if you did submit the
file in .ark format, the file would probably be quite large. There's no need to
keep the images, and .rtf is preferable, anyway. The books will get validated
much faster, generally speaking. Take care.

Hi scott,
Absolutely the book will still be accepted. It isn't required that scans
of the original images be retained with the submission. When people submit
files other than Openbook and Kurzwell default file formats the images are
already left out. In fact I recommend that you submit books in RTF because
they make it to the site usually a bit faster because there are more people who
can validate them.
So yes go for the 400 dpi if that gets a better scan.
Happy scanning!

Hi all,
I have been having some difficulties scanning a book. The biggest problem
is that the periods weren't showing up in about 50% of the sentences. I am
using Openbook, which scans at 300 dots per inch by default. I am able to get
the periods to show up if I increase the DPI to 400. However, in Openbook, you
can't use the "keep exact view" option at 400 DPI. For those of you who've
used Openbook to scan books for submission, is it likely that the book will
still be accepted if "keep exact view" is disabled? If Bookshare is still
likely to take the copy, I'd love to scan the book.
Thanks for your advice,
Scott Blanks
