Gary,
Occasionally, books have obvious errors which are also obviously not
scanning errors, but errors by the author or editor. These should be left
as is. My favorite error is one in Ill Wind by Nevada Barr where she is
listing large trucks, as in 18 wheelers, and she says Kenmoore instead of
Kenworth, or a brand of home appliances instead of a large truck.
As Jake said, though, I imagine a lot of misprints get corrected because
it's difficult to tell a misprint from a scanning error most of the time.

Gary,
Misprints are really up to the original submitter. Some will say to
leave them as is because the goal is a replica of the print copy. However,
for scanners who have no way of comparing with the print page, it is likely
to be assumed a scanno and thus corrected.
Indexes are not considered core content and are not required for
BookShare submission, however wherever possible it would be helpful to
include them. A student somewhere down the road might be very greatful for
that index, as thats what a sighted person would use.
Best,
Jake

Should we correct misprints and include indexes?
Thanks.
