Hi Louise,
We're still working on this issue. Hang on to those scanned books and
I'm sure we'll be able to find a home for them on Bookshare eventually.

I have more than a thousand books that I've scanned in txt format, but
won't be able to submit to Bookshare since txt files don't have page
breaks.
I can't see myself going page by page through all of these books and
manually putting in page breaks!! It's my understanding that by going
to
save as in a txt file and then choosing the rtf format doesn't
automatically put in the page breaks. Therefore, I don't know of any
quick
way of putting the page breaks in txt files.
Besides, I don't see why page breaks are so important in books such as
romances, mysteries, westerns, etc. I can see their validity in
nonfiction
books such as textbook or reference books!!
