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
