Hi Dornetta,
Please either reject the book, or release it. Bookshare does not accept
books without both page breaks and page numbers as scans by volunteers as
you know. If you're feeling kind, just release the book and perhaps someone
else will take it on. Or be strong or hard-hearted, whichever you think
fits, and reject the book, giving the reason that it lacks both page breaks
and page numbers.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question on rejecting a book
Hello Guys;
I am proofing a book that is from Project Gutenberg. I am having some major
problems when navigating the book with JAWS especially when using my
navigating keys; but that is not the issue. My issue is this, there are no
page breaks or page numbers. I have read bookshare before where the book is
said to be "one page" and there are no page numbers present. My question is
this, should this book be rejected with a note for this book to be done by a
sighted proofer? I can probably insert the page breaks and numbers manually
but I don't have the time. I already am working on a book that needs some
serious work done to it and inserting page breaks manually scared the heck
out of me (honestly speaking). Also, the semester has just started, so I
will not be proofing as much as I want. I am also unsure as to which edition
or copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to request since this is a
Project Gutenberg book. From my understanding of other Project Gutenberg
books I have used in the past (it has only been 2 or 3 of them( none of
their books have page numbers. Please advise,
Netta
