Well just saying what I saw! I hope that people will be considerate when replacing hard efforts whether picture descriptions etc.!

I don't understand why Bookshare would just automatically have a book replaced by one done by outsourcers; this isn't the same as a book from the publisher, is it?----- Original Message ----- *From:* Chela Robles <mailto:cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Thursday, July 29, 2010 1:40 PM *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] Re: Image Descriptions in Children's Books Jamie, no they didn't I didn't see any picture descriptions, sadly! I don't think that outsourcers from Africa and such do that sort of thing but someone can correct me, I remember reading books that were submitted by Digital Divide or something like that. They do a reasonable job too. I'm sure they're not reading this messages but thumbs up to them so far. -- "To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever.

However, when I just checked, it was replaced by a scan done by Worth Trust. So I hope they put in the picture descriptions equivalent to the ones I worked so hard on a few years ago.-- Jamie in MichiganCurrently Reading: Crossing California by Adam Langer Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html <http://www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html>------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
