That's correct. I suggest that until a better method is devised for
discarding fair books already in the queue, I may want to do the
following:
Download the suspected 'fair' book and look for obvious bad quality. As I
am using Kurzweil, "tools/ranked" will also help to get a good idea of
reco quality. . . of course I will watch out for those foreign words or
technical words not in the dictionary that may skew the rating down
artificially. I may want sometimes to consider ignoring capitalized words
as well. . . Those are in properties for the ranked spelling dialogue. I
may have a good idea at this point if the book is bad or not.
Now I will try a test upload in step 2. The book validation page will
give me Bookshare's automated opinion about book quality. Is rated
accuracy below 98.6%? If it is, and I agree with the 'fair' rating, I
will reject the book. If I am in doubt, I will Close the browser to
abort the validation process; I then will release the book; and finally
I will seek guidance from list/Claire.

Hi all,
No, Robert, it isn't that simple. Some "fair" books are actually
better than that, so you can't reject them all out of hand. They have
to be looked at.
