Hi, all,
Not owning a scanner, I've been dipping into validating books.
Thankfully, the ones I've picked so far have been good scans and
generally easy to work with.
However, recently I checked out a book that had been awaiting
validation since early December. All was going well--the scan looked
awesome and I was able to fix a few formatting issues. But I couldn't
stand it. The writing was awful, the dialogue contrived, and after
stopping and starting it three times, I finally gave up in despair
and released it for someone else.
Does anyone else ever have this problem? And now I have awful
validator guilt. I mean, it's been up since early December, and the
poor submitter probably really wants his/her credits since s/he
worked really hard at scanning the book.
So I guess my question is... how long do books sit unloved and
unvalidated before someone from Bookshare does it or the system
automatically rejects them? And am I the only one that suffers from
this insane guilt? (OK... probably I am, but hey, what's the Internet
for if not for airing our neuroses in public?)
