What Mayrie says is correct, but additionally it is also possible that a volunteer, or volunteers, did better scans of books that were deemed of poor quality. Those replacements show up on the New Books list. I plan to do five of those myself in the next couple of months. But you don't need to download them again if you were satisfied with the ones you got.

You needn't download books a second time unless you were dissatisfied with the quality of the original copies.

Every day I check the "new Books" Section to see what has been added to the collection. When I went to the "New Books" section today, I found some books that I have downloaded before. This means that they were already in the collection. Why are these books listed in the "New Books" section? Are these new versions of a better quality? Do I need to re-download these books?
