Hi, thanks for telling me about the renew option. This may actually be
quite helpful. Thanks for the information.

Yes. (smile). Find a book on the list that you think you'd like to read, download it, and correct it as you go. If you pick one that's rated Excellent or even, possibly, good, there probably won't be many corrections to make. The minimum to do is to make sure the copyright page is present, make sure there are page breaks and that there are no missing pages ( by checking page numbers or checking that the first line on one page continues the last line on the preceding page), and run a spell check. Many, if not most, of us, at least on this list, prefer to do more, but that isn't required. We read the books and correct as we go.
When you have finished the book you're working on, you go to the Upload page and fill in the blanks, then hit accept. BUT -- WARNING-- you do not have to finish in the seven days allotted. When you download a book, count six or seven days (no more than seven) including that day and mark it on a calendar or note it somewhere. If you haven't finished the book yet, go to the Upload and Renew. (There are 3 choices -- Release, Renew and Accept).If you don't want to work on that particular book either because it has too many problems (in which case you can reject it) or because you're not enjoying the book, you can Release it at any time. The original that you downloaded, not the copy that you've been fixing, is returned to the download list.
