Jill,
I could not have said that nearly as well as you did.  I am in whole-hearted 
agreement with you.

A lot of you probably won't agree with me and that's your privilege, but I
don't happen to feel committed to try to get every book on step 1 into the
collection. I consider that quality far outweighs quantity which is why I
validate what I am willing to read. I have seen too many books rated good
which were not pleasant to read and I then start figuring how I can find the
time to rescan them and make them the quality that Bookshare can be proud
of. I know this is not required of validators, but it is the standard I set
for myself, and you are right, I have often spent far more than five hours
validating such a book which I could easily have let go through as good or
fair. I do wonder too if good or fair books come across better when listened
to as opposed to being read in braille which is the way I read them; maybe
that's why such books bother me as much as they do. Jill
