Hi, Ed. Maybe what you can do, instead of sending the files in Arkenstone
format, is to try to convert the books to RTF format. That way, anyone who
can open an RTF file can validate these books. Otherwise, your books are
going to have to sit there until someone who has Arkenstone takes the books,
and if they're really that large, that might intimidate some people. I know
a 50-meg book would intimidate me! Are images being kept? I don't know a
thing about Arkenstone...I have Kurzweil, but I just can't imagine a book
being that large, but it sounds like these books might be textbooks or some
sort of reference books, so that would explain it. Anyway, RTF files will be
considerably smaller, and once zipped, even smaller still, so they should
upload without a hitch. Take care.

Hi, Kellie,
Thank you for your patience.
Ok, I created zip files for all three books. One of them uploaded, having
been reduced in size from 16.1MB to 4.89Mb. The other two apparently did
not get through, despite having been reduced in size from 38.5MB to 11.3MB
and from 50.4MB to 15.3MB. I'm not going to try uploading them again at
this time. They are very large books in Arkenstone format.
I just hope that the zipped file that did go through was done correctly.
If anyone there wants to make sure that what was received is usable, the
title of the book is Clinical Handbook of Psychological Disorders.
Again, thanks to all of you for your help and advice.
