I agree with mayrie about releasing the book. You can put quality as Poor or
Good or fair. As a sighted person who can get most books from the library
WhenI'mlooking for a book to proof (I already have 5 out, though) I look for
the poorer quality ones first to take. When the book I can get is different
from the file I adjust the file to match the book I'm using to proof, i.

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.

that the ISBN in the book you're proofreading and the book that you check out
from the library are the same.

>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?
