[blindlaw] book scanning services

Hello:

     BookShare does use volunteers to scan books. They also have a scanner in house. 

Regards,

Robert

My understanding was that book share books are scanned by volunteers, and not book share it self.

Would be interested in hearing what people find on this. I looked at a review of one book scanning service, and I was just reluctant about the fact that they destroy the printed book and throw it away, and all you are left with is a PDF, but if all you were after was the information I could totally see why it would be useful, and the review was very positive about the results of the PDF.
