I just wrote Pavi about the double download on step 1 situation.
Some submitters try to submit a better copy of a book they have
already submitted, not realizing that the submitter needs to remove
the earlier inferior copy. Of course, if the earlier inferior copy is
already being validated and the submitter does not check, two copies
exist with one on step 1 and one being validated.
I have written submitters asking for duplicate books to be removed.
Some submitters think it is bookshare's "job" to do that. Others wish
bookshare gave better instructions about re-submits.
Perhaps a note at the top of step 1 warning submitters to check
"books in progress" and "books being validated" may be in order for
the time being.
Some submitters, particularly new ones, may find all this checking
difficult or annoying.
We validators will continue to be on the look out for such duplicates
on step 1.
Later, engineering may find a way of automating the process and
warning the submitter that his or her book already exists in the system.
The more bookshare grows, the better tools we all need so we can do
our parts better as people.

If a submitter thought his book had not been accepted and went
through the procedure again, wouldn't two copies appear on step 1?
