Hi Mike: Bookshare has given us some very general guidelines on this point. If you think it is readable, then you certainly can approve the book with a fair rating, or you can reject it. if so, please e-mail booksharescans@xxxxxxxx and I will add it to the rejected books list. The purpose of that list is to compile a list of books that were rejected so that someone else can at some point rescan that same book. -- Rui Bookshare Unofficial Volunteer Scanning Page Http://members.cox.net/booksharescans ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Pietruk" <pietruk@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 2:52 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] When to Reject!! > > I am now validating a novel on which I have to decide whether the text is > readable enough or not.
