Doitsu's script might help me --and for that I'm grateful -- but it can't solve the greater issue of fairness to other uploaders.
Most people who create e-books for the Patricia Clark Memorial Library will still see their work hidden and displaced by the onslaught of a single person.
That doesn't seem fair to me. No uploader should be rendered invisible to casual readers of the library feed.
I believe that MR should adopt a solution which is fairer to the other people who create and upload books. Imagine taking weeks to perfect an e-book and uploading it proudly, only to have it drowned utterly in a rush of hasty uploads so that fewer MR readers will ever see it at all, let alone download and enjoy it.
The same thoughtlessness that fuels hasty conversions can inform an uploader's treatment of other uploaders which is impolite at best and, at worst, a way to increase the odds their work will be ignored.
That's why I think there should be a limit as to how many e-books a person can upload per day.
Here's my suggestion for Mobile Read:

Perhaps everyone who creates e-books should have an allotted number of uploads per day (let's say ten -- five e-books in two different formats) so that daily feeds and recent upload lists won't represent a single person's contribution alone, and others who contribute have a fair chance of having their work seen while it's fresh.
