You don't get credit if your book is rejected, without being added to the
collection.
But if it was accepted and then later removed, or replaced, we still get the
inital credit.

But then, Mike, perhaps they (i,e, those people who
scan for themselves and don't fix them before
submission) shouldn't submit them. They get $2.50
credit toward their membership, and the work, or lack
of it they do, isn't worth it --whereas if anyone
bothers to validate those books and fix them, that
person only gets 50 cents credit and does much more
work. I don't know whether, if a person's submission
is rejected, that person still gets the credit for the
submission or not. In some cases, the book may not be
rejected for quite some time, so I suspect it would be
hard to take away the credit.
It seems to me that if a person is scanning books
for his/her own pleasure reading and doesn't care
about making it at least minimally readable for other
people he/she shouldn't submit the book.
