Doitsu's talking about the level of proofreading and editing, not the "authors" or "the quality of their work."
So, for that matter, am I -- to the extent I'm not also talking about aspects of the formatting itself.
No one's putting down the kind of writing which is being uploaded. We're talking about frequency and care of the uploads as opposed to that of the majority of uploaders.
Besides which, adding a functioning ToC -- which is apparently your idea of a formatting litmus test -- is the sort of thing that's done to public domain books sold on Amazon routinely, books that most of us try not to buy because they're lazily done. We have uploaders who exert a great deal more care than that.
What's a concern is not the amount of content in the library but the representation of individual uploaders in the daily feed and recently uploaded lists.
We have uploaders who put more care into their work than any ebook creator I've seen in professional publishing. We have one uploader who's so good at what he does that I'm trying to find a way to convince a university publisher to allow me to use him.
We have real book designers and artists in this community -- it doesn't matter what
kinds of books they choose to upload.
You seem to be unclear as to people's reasons for posting on this thread and the aspects of the uploading which are being discussed. That's the reason I haven't responded to your longer post yet:-- I'm giving you a moment to cool off.
And again -- references to "this uploader" or any specific person are uncalled for. We're discussing the frequency and quality of the uploads, not the ultimate worth of individuals. If you respect the uploader you've been mentioning as much as you say, then you'll take pains to keep them out of this conversation. We're not here to criticize, vilify or argue the merits of any mobile read member.
