Hi all,

Well, maybe if we went at this in another way? What types of errors are your books being rejected for? Good, in Bookshare-speak, means that the text is legible, but it has many scanos and/or other problems like section breaks instead of page breaks. It may have headers left in and other things. Good means about a C if you were grading it. If you don't have the time to devote to "good" books, then only choose books with the excellent rating.

Thing that concerns me is that I wrote to a scanner and never got an answer back. I had to reject the book because I couldn't correct the errors.

My best advice is to stay away from "good" rated books. BTW, the conversion tool isn't used till after the book's been proofed. So whatever errors you've been getting, they are from the scanner.

Ann P.
