Welcome, Nolan, and join the club. There are quite a
few of us who, like you, are perfectionists and read
the books we download for validation, so they really
are in Excellent condition when uploaded. And you
don't have to feel guilty (or was that someone else)
to keep renewing a book. It's impossible to finish
validating a book, especially if it's long, in a week,
in my opinion, especially when people are living their
lives, with work, families, etc. I think most people
feel that the quality of the book when it's finally
uploaded makes the wait worthwhile.

As far as any order of the list goes, I may be wrong,
but I think it's just as books get submitted. When a
book gets submitted it goes instantly to the download
list. I've submitted books people have requested and
written to them directly to tell them and by the time
they get to the list to download the book is already
gone. Some books may stay up there because no one is
interested in validating them. I admit I prefer
validating books I expect to enjoy reading, though I
have done a couple that I haven't enjoyed much because
they needed my sight to fix, or I've expected to like
the book more than I did. In that case, sometimes
Ijust spell-check and make sure the pagination is
correct, which I'm sure must allow some errors to get
by.

I also validate carefully, i.e., read, my books before
submitting them. If you do that and a book of yours
seems to be staying on the download list too long, you
can download it yourself and then upload it; or if you
haven't validated it and it's been there too long,
download it and validate it yourself.
