I think your information is out of date. As I understand it, for about a year now only RTF submissions have been accepted.

It can be uploaded in .kes, but also .rtf as well.

Under the [settings] option for rtf documents (which is the
format in which you'll be submitting your book to bookshare) you need to
disable the "split long pages" option. And always save this setting under your default settings. If you do not make this change to your settings, the page numbering in your rtf document is likely to be inaccurate, different
from what is actually in the book  ...

OK, that's why I am glad I found the scanning manual, even though I've
not yet taken the time to read it.  Two different friends who use
Bookshare (but who are not volunteers, as far as I know), told me that
books are to be uploaded in the format I used to scan them in--in my
case, with the .KES extension that Kurzweil uses.  So once again,
thanks for your help, Mayrie.  It's good to come into this new venture
without jumping to preconceived conclusions.  I don't want my effort
to be rejected, given the amount of time it takes to scan a
full-length book.

Cheers,
