>>I download.

>>Here is the process.

>>1. You pick a file from the "Step one download page"
>>2. Unpack it.
>>3. Check it for the mandatory things, Title, author, copyright info,
>>completeness, and finally, neatness, can it be read.

>>I usually when I am proofing a book either the before submitting, or or

>>the validation or "step 1" page, I will use the braillenote and read it,
>>word for word, usually it is something i will enjoy so it is usually fun to
>>do.

>>You can either keep the file in its original format, and make back up files
>>of it the BN likes to crunch .rtf files sometimes, or you can do what I do,
>>and save as keyword till you are done with the editing, and then
>>"translate,
>>and export" a .rtf file or .brf file back.

>>Then, you go to the "step 2 Upload page" and upload the file, there are
>>forms there to be filled out.

>>And then you pick the "accuracy of the book and its adult content, and
>>well,
>>the rest is pretty straight forward.

>>So short answer, is, smile, after the novel above, that I download the
>>files, edit them off line, and when ready upload the finished files and
>>comments to Bookshare, online.

>>Smile.
