Wooboy. After this long week, I am ready for a vacation. Too bad we
didn't get Veteran's Day off. . .

Let me reiterate, we have no intention of becoming NLS. That's not what
Bookshare.org wants, nor have we made any drastic policy changes in that
direction. The only policy change that we have made is to not accept
books that do not have a single page break in them. 

As for the other random books that you find that have somewhat confusing
not necessarily correct page breaks, use your discretion. 

Best, 
Marissa

NLS also has an extremely small collection of books and is always
woefully
behind with everything.  Perhaps this is what we want.
