Dan, I don't think this info's on the site or even documented anywhere. As far as I've been able to determine, the book expires on the 7th day you have it out, and I think the renew link appears on the 5th, but I'd renew it just as soon as you discover it. The problem you have to watch for is renewing right after midnight if you're not on Pacific Time since, as far as I can tell, once Bookshare hits midnight, you'll be on your second day. I had a book expire once because I downloaded it around 12:30 a.m. Central Time then didn't renew when I first had the chance thinking I had an additional day, because by my count, it was only day 5. Bookshare apparently considered it day 6, though, because the book expired the next morning. BTW, looks like they expire around 4:30 a.m. Pacific, so you'll need to renew by the night of day 6 unless you're up before that time on day 7 and can renew it. Oh yeah, only use this info as a guideline since I'm not 100% sure that it's correct. The only real way to know is to inspect the code or to intentionally let books expire in order to test what Bookshare's doing, and I obviously haven't seen the code, nor have I been intentionally letting books expire to test how the system truely works.

When I have books downloaded for validation the step 2 page shows those books and either 2 or 3 choices for each. How long before my edit time runs out does the renew link appear? After downloading/renewing it isn't there for at least a couple of days but I am unsure of how much leadway it gives before time out. Thanks.
