One reason for this is that the submitter may have scanned the information
on the dust jacket and put that information in the long synopsis. The
problem is that if you scan this with column detection off, in OpenBook at
least, it puts a hard return at the end of every line of print. For some
reason, when Bookshare gets through with it, those hard returns are removed,
but not replaced with spaces. Hence, words are run together. I know this
can happen, because it happened to a book I submitted.
Also, if this is the case, then unless the submitter changed that setting,
in OpenBook at least, then every line of print will begin a new paragraph
throughout the book. I don't know if this makes a difference to people
listening to it, but in Braille, it doesn't look so good, especially since
the Braille display is almost certainly going to have a different margin
than the print book did. You will get lots of partial lines, and an indent
at the beginning of every new line of print in the original book.

Hi, Rita. There are many synopses like that one, actually. It is kind of
sloppy, isn't it? <smile> Take care.

Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.

Hello, I am not sure who I should direct this comment to. I was looking at the longer synopsis for "The walking Drum" by Louise L'amour. There are several words that need spaces between them. It's no big deal but it is disconcerting if you are listening to it. Sory if I sound picky but I thought someone should know. Rita and Camille
