Hi Bud, Ok, the short version is that rtf is better. <grin> More people can validate them, they are smaller files, and they retain formatting. Of course there's nothing wrong with submitting in .kes, but it will take longer to get the book validated because fewer people can manage kes files. About rejections, if you want to know why specific books got rejected you can write to the Bookshare staff and ask. In fact, if you can't think of any reason why the book would have been rejected I recommend asking; that way you can figure out if there's anything you can do to make things go more smoothly. Hth, Kellie
