Dear Bud, and Fellow Booksharians,
Enjoying reading,, and volunteering for Bookshare at the same time
is a rich combination isn't it?
Bud, I notice you said, if, you could find a book Bookshare didn't
already have. I look for those, too, but we have another choice,
too. There are so many books in the collection with only good or
fair ratings. They are in such shambles I get distracted and
frustrated and usually don't even consider downloading them. So, if
you're having trouble finding something new, you can rescan and
submit a BSO of a book rated fair or good. Many of us really
appreciate reading books that are so accurate that spotting an
error is as hard as finding an extra bump on a golf ball.
And, here's a toast or two or three to you for taking the trouble
to put blank lines before and after page numbers!!
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the input. I guess I'll just sit back and work on it
and when I start to get weary I'll know it's time for a gin and
tonic. I really enjoy reading and when I can find a book that
bookshare doesn't already have I'mm happy.

Hi Bud,
No you're not slow, it's just a tedious process.
I usually search for the page break characters, mark the header
part I want to get rid of, delete it, and search for the next
match. I get into a bit of a rhythm, but after a while I start
getting distracted and end up hitting the wrong keys, in the
wrong order, and then I know it's time to take a break.

Hi Gang,
I just sent this message off a few minutes ago but I suspect
something went wrong. I may have put the text in the subject
lline and I don't know how much text the subject line would hold.
I just said that I submitted Final Jeopardy by Linda
fairstein. It scanned very clean and I did the usual rank
spell, delete headersand put a blank line between page number
and text. That's basically what I said except that it takes me
a long time to do the page number thing and wondered if any of
the validators had some magic way of doing it. I don't mind
doing it but it takes me litterally several hours to do it.
Maybe I'm just slow.
