Hi Rick, Both statements are true. <smile> When you download a book for validation, you are given a week to work on the book. However, if you can't get done with the book in that amount of time you can renew it as many times as you want to. Each time you renew, you get another week. To renew a book, wait until a couple of days before your edit time expires, then go to the Step 2, Upload link. You'll find a list of all the books you're working on, and below the book title and author will be links called upload, renew, and release. Click the renew link, and you'll have the book for another week.
