Mike, I like your idea of having submission date be a criterion for the step one page sort order. I imagine that the utility to convert kes and arc is a problem, because those are proprietary formats of the respective companies. So I imagine BookShre would have to pay something to have such a utility. MIght be wrong, but it would seem to make sense. Another thing I'd like to see on the step one page is the quality rating and the synopsis, if any, just like you see when the book shows up in the collection. I know that adding this info would make the page longer. But it would offer more info up front. Potential validators wouldn't be clicking on titles only to discover that they aren't interested in the book and/or the rating is such that they don't feel they could take it on or whatever. Mary
