There's no way to enforce it obviously, but I think Bookshare should tell new
volunteers that when they agree to take a book for proofreading, then it should
be understood that proofreading means reading through the book in its entirety.
Which means that a person who volunteers to proofread a book is agreeing to
actually read it through.

Are the current proofers asked to read every word of a book? We used to be
given only 50 cents for each book, but to me as a proofer I feel it is my
responsibility to read the whole book. (That is sometimes why they are out for
a while.) Anyway, to help with Evan's and other scanners' concerns about a
proofreader not catching things, could we ask that the whole book be read?
