Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the input. I am not a bookshare reader so I can't
download any book. I just read a book for my own pleasure and then
submit it to bookshare so others can enjoy it. I don't mind it being
replaced if it is better than mine was. It's really not that big of a deal.

I wonder, however, that being the case, if the replacement really is better than Bud's copy. Does anyone proofread the NY TImes books? Carrie, when you or other volunteers in the office scan the books, are they proofread too? I know you personally do in some case, but I got the impression that you don't always, and I don't know about the others.
Bud, maybe you could download the NY Times book and compare it with the one you pre-validated before submitting.
Cindy
