Kelly,  to be perfectly honest with you,  the only complaints I hear in 
the fields is of Bookshare books being of lesser quality than other 
repositories.
Granted a lot of these complaints are not completely justified,  but we 
can help by ever improving the quality of our output.
I have access to some other volunteer-scan-based repository,  and have 
compared  quality of several hundred titles.  Unfortunately   the other 
repository enjoy a 3 over 2   ratio of titles in which accuracy is greater 
than Bookshare.
No big deal,  but this points to the fact that we can do even better than 
what we do now.

[bksvol-discuss] the page number issue






Guido,
I'll bet there are paying customers who would be unhappy to learn that
perfectly complete books were rejected  due to a quirk in page-numbering.
However, knowing that you're more reasonable than you appear, I suppose 
you
probably just did this because you know Dave is here and used it as an
example to spur further excellence. I only hope you've stirred up as much
excellence as you have contention, you book-nuking instigator! <lol>
