Julian,
What leads you to believe the duplicates are scanned and publisher
books? Have you conducted an analysis of the source? In my
experience, the duplicates result from the technical linkage Bookshare
establishes with particular publishers. Bookshare automatically
receives an electronic version of every book published in most
publisher relationships. This often means receiving a version of the
same title for the paperback version, the Kindle version, the
electronic non-kindle version, international versions, and so forth.
Technically, if the title is published in Australia by a different
company or a different division of the same publisher, it is a
different book although it is the same title. The process is entirely
automated and no staff from Bookshare sifts through all the new titles
as they come in. The automated electronic linkage system allows
Bookshare to have more titles with its limited resources although it
can result in some duplication. If it bothers you, send an e-mail to
member services.

just recently was able to finally renew my membership, so I haven't been
keeping up with the goings-on for at least four or five years now.
Anyway, so I'm noticing a lot of duplicate titles under some of the
authors I've been browsing lately and was wondering where the proper
place would be to report those. Just off the top of my head as I'm
browsing this afternoon, I'm noticing quite a few under Leslie Meier,
some under Joanne Fluke and a fair amount under Diane Mott Davidson. I
know we've been doing publisher-quality books for quite a while now, so
I'm assuming some of these were scanned, then maybe the
publisher-quality versions were added and the others were never removed,
but not sure who to report them to, assuming we're still trying to get
rid of duplicates as we've done for years.
The question I have regarding downloading is an error I occasionally get
and I'd like to know what it means. The error I get says:]
ERROR
The request could not be satisfied.

CloudFront attempted to establish a connection with the origin, but

Is the book no longer available when I get this error or is there
another reason? And if the books are no longer available, shouldn't they
not show up in search results in the first place? Just curious what all
that means, as I never saw that error when downloading before...ages ago.
:)
Thanks, and glad to be back in the land of Bookshare again. :)
