Hi, Jim. Bookshare does accept files in Kes format. Though rtf is preferred because most of us can open those, you can submit in Kes, Ark, and Wyn formats. Books that are submitted as rtf files generally are approved faster, though Kes files can be processed by a fairly large number of validaters. Those who submit in Ark format generally wait quite a long time, a year or more. Those who submit in Wyn format wait... and wait... and wait... for 3 years one book lingered on step 1 because no one else could open it. There are currently 2 books on step 1 I'd validate if they weren't in wyn format. Since they are, they'll probably be there for a very long time. So while one can submit books in various ways, there are wait times that increase in porportion to the obscurity and proprietary nature of the format.
