Yet those "romance books" are very readable even with their errors.  Now, 
if they were science or history text with dates, formulae and assorted 
other data, that would be a different story.
What truly would be gained by declining those submissions given that they 
are light pleasure reading and little more.
Yes, if you can figure out how the submitter could improve the quality 
without much cost or pain, you'd have some rationale.
My hunch is that individual is doing those books for herself first and 
foremost; and thereafter sharing.

I am all for quality improvement, teaching improved scanning techniques; 
but I cannot favor that at the expense of less material being available.
I understand where you and Guido are coming from, but I don't see why 
Jesse's standards of acceptance from last August are suddenly not 
acceptible.
This is an instance where it is not broken, so why fix it.
The solution isn't eliminating those contributions; it is making certain 
that the downloaders understand the limitations of those submissions and, 
based on that, can make an informed decision of whether or not to retrieve 
those books.

We'll have to agree to disagree as I doubt
either side will give in to the other.  And beyond that, it not our 
decision anyway!
