You may be right that the automatically generated response is not
necessarily an indication of appreciation. But what does no
response at all indicate?

As for me, I don't care if I am thanked. It is only an automatically
generated computer response and so is no indication of appreciation.
What I do care about is some reassurance that I have done everything
right and was successful. If being returned to my download page is
that confirmation it will do, but I do feel more comfortable with a
more explicit acknowledgment of my success.

You're automatically returned there Cindy! A nice feature would be for
proofreaders to hear the same "Thank You For
Submitting Your Book" message which scanners receive.

Were you guys automatically returned to your checked-out book page or did
you go there yourselves?
