Tim you should’ve rejected Witch Fury. That particular submitter needs a little
help on formatting. I had to reject some books.

Gail,
The books I was going to proof were three books by Alyson James (author) and a
book called "Witch Fury" whose author I don't remember. I didn't see anywhere
to leave a comment, just a "release" button in "My Checked Out Books.

Hi tim,
What books are you trying to proof?
If you release the books please if possible leave comments as to why you did so.
It will help the next person who might decide to tackle the books.

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

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
