It does make sense. That which does not make sense is that Bookshare
mentions only that if there are errors in a book in the collection then it has
been
decided that a re scan must be done without mentioning that an easier fix may
be available. With this revelation the stated Bookshare policy sounds
misleading. In a message dated 9/27/2008 6:43:42 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time,

Actually there is no contradiction.
There is the necessary step of having a staff member put the book in
question onto step 1 in rtf format.
What does not work because page breaks and numbers are lost is to
download a brf or html copy and try to fix that copy up.
Hope the explanation makes sense.
