Besides, many members are already doing quite a bit for MobileRead in other ways, and others already have a full plate and just don't have the time.
That being said, from someone who has only uploaded a couple of books to the library, thanks for all your hard work, Harry. It has not gone unnoticed nor unappreciated. You're a real trooper.

No skills or time needed for the kind of thing I had in mind, Tom. When you're reading a book from our library, if you happen to notice an error, just set a bookmark on that page. When you finish the book, drop the uploaded a PM and say, "I spotted these errors while I was reading the book...". I guarantee that the uploader will be very grateful, and the book will then be better for the next reader.
There are several people who do this regularly; their feedback is very welcome, and they are making a genuine contribution to the improvement of the quality of our library.
