Yeah, someone grabbed it. I was afraid that because of the strange behavior when I uploaded it I might have uploaded a blank file or the wrong file. I suppose if I did that it will be rejected and I will try again. The upload process used to have a feature that would have helped me with that. It used to be that when uploading a book there was a link to a list of words that the Bookshare dictionary flagged as misspelled. Most of the words on the list were proper names or other words that were unique to the book and if I checked that list and recognized those words unique to that book I would know that I had definitely uploaded the right file. That was taken away for some reason and I miss it.

    email from Bookshare, I did successfully upload the book. But I still
