Hi Judy.
In a previous message you said "I was already correcting errors on most
books I downloaded as I read them, ". I'm glad to see that someone else has
that bad habbit too.
I find myself correcting books even though I have no intention of
re-submitting the book. Recently, I read a book that was a near perfect
scan. However, near the end of the book there was a duplicated page. (One
scanned twice) I'm still trying to answer the question why I deleted the
second duplicated page? Other than that problem the book was nearly perfect,
and I'm not going to ask bookshare staff to replace a book for that one
error. But, it's on my hard drive with the duplicated page missing. But I
don't know why.
Bob

I started volunteering last November because Monica gently asked me several
times if I could validate, as I can't physically hold a book to scan it.
Since I was already correcting errors on most books I downloaded as I read
them, I finally decided I'd give it a try myself and see if I really could
validate, given the limitations I have with using my assistive technology.

It's really expanded the genre of books I read, left me awestruck at times
at the dedication of my fellow volunteers, and given me great satisfaction
at finding a way to contribute my own little bit towards making more books
more accessible to the disabled community.
