Mayrie, I did get a copy from the library and it looked nothing like the file.
The ISBN's don't match, however. I probably will just release the books.
Thanks. Tim

HI Tim,
I actually have no idea. There are a lot of variables to
consider. Many books have chapter headings in the middle of pages, so that
isn't an indicator of a problem. And sometimes page numbers just don't scan,
and
even occasionally books don't have page numbers in the print book. Does
your book have page breaks? If it doesn't that is a very valid reason to
reject a book.
I'd suggest looking for a copy of the book at a
local library and see if it looks like your file looks. Just make sure
that the ISBN in the book you're proofreading and the book that you check out
from the library are the same.
If that's too much trouble, I don't think I'd reject
yet. Releasing seems a safer option.
Just my opinion.
Mayrie

downloads
Hi Mayrie and all,
I recently downloaded 4 books to proofread which I am ready to just release
back to the checkout list, but I thought I would check with you first. Here's
the problem: the text takes up the whole 22 inches of the page length and
everything is scrunched together with chapter numbers in the middle of the
test.
There are also no page numbers. Could this be an ebook? Is there anything to do
or should I "reject" the books?
Tim
