It is strange.
I have done a few books, that were not marked as adult I and my maker have decided I am not able to do that any more even if I have no Proofs to do. Please and thank you no offense meant to about anyone or any books just something very personal for me a conviction I reckon. But when I did some I was surprised they didn't get marked that way, but they didn't so had to let it be. JMO though and again please not meaning offense nor mean spirit, it is just I'm been used to thinking and calling some things adult and just found out differently after being here.
Have a marvelous day all

John!

I have proofread several books that the Bookshare tool has marked as adult. I can't provide a breakdown of the criteria, but I would suspect some of it
has to do with the specifics of the government grant.

I wish a better rating system could be implemented too. *smile*

Jamie,

Thanks for the list. Why are these books marked adult? I've downloaded books from Bookshare with no such marking and found them full of erotica, which I
hate.
