Yes, I knew this. I was just saying that it's frustrating to have the book
in your hands and not be able to fix the errors and make it nice for others
instead of just for a cleaner personal copy.

Hi Again,
The reason why they have volunteers resubmit books is explained in the
letter to volunteers found on the volunteer homepage where you sign in to
your account. To refresh your memory: a books formatting might be lost if
an individual were to correct the book.
Regards,
Jess
