Hi Cindy,

I'm pretty sure that the books submitted to BookShare need to be actual scans performed by the submitter. E-books are not permitted, in my understanding. I think that the reason this is so has to do with the copyright laws.

Peace,
Mayrie

The book I am validating was submitted by someone who did make himself
known, and he talked about something to do with a PDF file and
importing it to Freedom Import Printer and then to OB, I can't
remember exactly how it read, but it ends up a fast scan. This person
suggests that we use this method. I would say that there is nothing
wrong with the method in itself, but these are truly raw scans that no
one has bothered to look at while scanning at all. There are lots of
errors in them that would be similar to those found if one actually
scanned the book. Validators are making $2 less than scanners;
therefore, people who scan ought to check their scans in some kind of
at least cursory fashion to make sure some of the stuff in them is
fixed, I think. At least I know it would be much appreciated.
