If I can just reiterate for a second, "THERE ARE NO PLANS IN
BOOKSHARE.ORG'S FUTURE TO STOP ACCEPTING TEXT FILES!"
In other words, please relax.
You can keep on submitting your text files, it's ok. . .just make sure the
page breaks are intact.
This page break issue is mostly an isolated incident, I find that most
books include page breaks. Would it help if we included some tips about
retaining page breaks in different document formats that can be either
downloaded from the volunteer page or submitted to the general list or both?

I submit my books in txt format because I'm on a dialup connection and a
book in rtf format is much larger than in txt format and would take a long
time to upload/download so if txt books are no longer going to be allowed,
then I guess I'll not submit any more books and eventually read the 900
plus books I've already scanned for my own pleasure!

Will bookshare soon not accept txt files? I ask this because many
programs don't deal with pagebreaks in text files properly even though txt
files are usually capable of holding page breaks.
I also wonder if a validator can introduce artificial page breaks that did
not exist in the original just to make files that are in perfect condition
other than missing page breaks acceptable, or must the pagebreaks be where
they would be if the original submitter had kept the pagebreaks cause by
actual print page size?
Thanks for the clarification the the issue.
