Aside from the finger print issues, there will be some difficult privacy
issues associated with a book that retains the person's name as well as
the e-mail address in the book.

The fingerprint they are talking about is generated by the Bookshare
system
for each download from the library. It tells who downloaded the book,
as
well as describing the provision by which Bookshare is allowed to
distribute copyrighted materials. If it were left in the resubmission,
the
person resubmitting the book would be proclaimed in all future
downloads,
as well as giving subsequent readers 2 shots at the disclaimer.
