Hello Grace and List, I'm surprised nobody can get the book uploaded as a zipped file. I've zipped and uploaded an 800-page science text with no problems, and it was an rtf file. The title was Evolutionary Analysis -- don't remember the authors right offhand. I wonder if the problem is hidden graphics like pictures that add to the file size?

The book is 615 pageslong and the file size is 1900KB, unzipped. But as I said I can't upload it zipped either.

Cindy, I doubt it has anything to do with the upgrade that took place this week because this is a problem that has been going on for some time. It's likely that this problem has existed since the beginning and that we don't see it very often because there are not that many 1000 plus page books.

In the 4 years of validating I have never been unable to upload a book. There's no punctuation in the file name, and I've even shortened the file name. As Ernie said, it gets up to 99 percent and hangs. When I zip the file it gets up to 38 percent and it hangs. I saved the file as txt and then back to rtf hoping it would get rid of any strange formatting, but no luck. I've tried to upload it on 3 separate occasions. I have broad bend connection. I am stumped. Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated. *** Grace For scanning and validating tips check out http://www.jbrownell.com/bks/tl.asp
