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.

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? Reggie
