Should we take this as reason to reject such books in the future?

We will withdraw Moments in Time. I'll buy a copy and process it as a new book. I'm sure it'll be faster and easier that way, than trying to unscramble the pages.

If anyone finds a book that's clearly rated incorrectly, please let one of us know (me, Claire, Jake, Lisa), and we will change the rating or reprocess the book.

Thanks for catching the problem with Moments in Time, and a Merry Christmas to all!

Carrie

Hi Jill,



I guess you saw Cindy's response but I just wanted
to add that I would have given this one a fair rating.  However, whoever
validated it should have caught the repeated pages, even if it was only given a
cursory review.



I have noticed the same thing you have, Jill, about
books being rated excellent when they do not deserve it.

Sue, I would be interested to know how the book was
rated by Bookshare. I am finding that more and more books I read are rated
excellent but are at best good if one takes literally that excellent means
"almost no errors." I read them in braille as that is my preference but believe
that those mistakes would be present in the synthesized version as well.

 Hi All,



 I downloaded Moments In Time, by Mariah Stewart,
 for pleasure reading and am very disappointed in the copy.  A lot of the
 pages are repeated, which is annoying, and there are all kinds of extra
 characters.  Does anyone want to check the Daisy coopy of this
 file?  I downloaded the BRF copy.



 Thanks,



 Sue S.
