I think bookshare needs to work out some legal conditions to the publishers
contracts as well as the newly signed blanks in order to do that. Last I
knew, they were talking to the already signed ones to see if they would be
interested in us doing that. I remember something like this being talked
about on a thread about putting in image descriptions and "why sign
publishers if their books are worse than volunteer scanned ones?".

Hi, you're not causing any trouble in my opinion. I read the same article
and it did say something about volunteers being needed to proof pdf files.
I'm wondering why the contradicting statements and exactly what gives.
Surely Jim Fruchterman didn't lie in that article, so who's telling the
truth and how will we be a part? Have a blessed day.
