A book one scans for oneself may not necessarily as originally scanned be
qualified for bookshare. However, if you think the book you scanned has
political merit and if you own a copy of k1000 which this submitter does it
is possible to clean up your text at least by using autocorrect and
certainly by using rank spelling. All I am suggesting is that much
improvement by a submitter is possible on a book, the same kind of work we
validators do for fifty cents and the submitter does for
$2.50. Presumably, submitting is done because the submitters think
asomeone else would like to read the book or that the book is one a larger
audience than an audience of one blind person might want to read. I
applaud this willingness to share. I am not willing to do the work on
books which come in consistently with 96 and 97% ratings no matter how
politically or socially important they are. Perhaps others want to take
these projects on but I suggest that bookshare needs a bottom to what is
acceptable to prevent submitters from submitting things with extremely poor
ratings. No let's not get on to where that floor should be. But perhaps
we need to speak frankly on this list about books whose rating is 96 or
97^% and which continue to clutter up the step 1 page. This is not
personal to any submitter but really we do need to say these things out
loud unless the list is just to grow randomly.
