Its all but impossible to get perfect scans, but everyone should do the best possible. It not only makes it easier on the valadaters, but in the end, it gives the consumer the best possible product. I adore bookshare and what it stands for. I do not believe the submission rules should be made too difficult as it would discourage submissions, but I do believe people should take pride in their work. Making certain its the best it can be is one of the ways that can be done. gisela
