As a vaidator, I've asked about that sort of thing a lot in the past, Cindy. It
seems to me that rescanning involves two steps--scanning the book anew and then
having someone else validate, whereas converting to rtf if necessary--and some
of the books are already rtf, I'm sure--would just involve one person
validating. In the past, that was done. I myself fixed several books that were
put on the download list for me and I validated them. Why the policy was
changed a couple of years ago I do not know.
