I agree with you.
My frustration has to do with the page break issue which bookshare has
decided to incorporate. I recently had an RTF science fiction book which did
not have page numbers. The page breaks were only the ones which word
automatically puts in. There were a few spelling errors, but the scan was
excellent. I let the book release because I did not want to be the one to
reject such a beautiful scan.
I can agree with page breaks for nonfiction and text books. However, with
easy reading books, I have a problem with the new rules.
I love science fiction and fantasy books and would be happy to validate
them. However, I refuse to reject an excellent scan because it lacks page
numbers and page breaks if it is such type of book. Therefore, whenever I
grab a book like such and the only problem is lack of page breaks, I will
just be glad that at least I was able to read it.
Please reconsider this insane rule regarding light-reading books, or I will
be forced to reconsider whether it is worth my time to validate.
David

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Will place it here too!
I am getting extremely sick and tired of all the nonsense. I validated and
uploaded 5 books last w3eekend. I have now found 3 of them back on the
download list and two have been grabbed by someone else. No warning, no
statement as to why! If my validation is going to continue like this, I
quit, quit, quit!!! I work hard and only have at night and some weekends to
do this stuff. The least that Bookshare could do is send me a notice that
the book is not good enough and that I should work on it longer and
re-upload. As you can tell I am really angry, angry, angry!!! We do not get
as validators the same amount, although we work sometimes harder than the
people who scan. We need all the money we can make to make the scans
better. Now, before I break my keyboard in total, total anger, I will
depart. If I am not doing a good job then I will not be back on this list
and I will not be re-joining BKS! I am currently fixing a fair book so if it
will be returned to the list when I am finished could someone please let me
know so I do not, not continue to work hard on this!!! Thanks.
