Mine are always submitted with spaces in the file names, but no other
punctuation except for the . before the three extension.
BBut I always label my files with the title of the book, would never be able
to find them if I didn't.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: book upload
I routinely upload books with spaces in the filenames to Bookshare with no
problems. No apostrophes, of course. I always replace the underscores with
spaces in the filenames of the books I download from Bookshare. They just
look more natural that way on my Pac Mate. I was not aware that other
operating systems have problems with spaces in their filenames. I suppose I
could get used to looking at, and putting in, underscores or dashes in my
filenames; just like I got used to the cramped style of eight characters for
filenames back in the DOS days; but I'm not going to bother unless I have
to. Hopefully, someday, other operating systems will catch up to Windows
with respect to being able to create more natural looking filenames. <grin>
