True. But taking and fixing a poor scan that Bookshare has done in house?
Frankly, that enables whoever did that scan at Bookshare to dump poor quality

It's ridiculous that the Wish List scans done by Bookshare are often only a
smidge better than a totally raw scan.

When you reject the book, make sure you check "other" and leave a

little codes that you check on that page don't seem to work, butleaving a
