I've been using bookshare for years; it's my primary source for
books and newspapers, and the $50 a year is well worth it. Where
else could you get a hundred books a month for that price?Yes, a
newspaper or magazine counts against your book total for the
month, but if one wanted to increase his limit per month, all he
has to do is call bookshare.

>Hi all,
>In the past I have mentioned free audio seminars that Hadley
School for The Blind has provided. A recent newsletter (that I am
forwarding) that informs us that they will be having a seminar on
bookshare. I know many people in in our chapter use or are
interested in using bookshare. Here is an opportunity to get a
lot of good info about the service.
>The seminar will be made available a few days after the live
presentation in the Hadley seminar archives if you cannot attend
the live presentation.

>"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along
unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness
into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These
are the things I will do; I will not forsake them." -- Isaiah
