[Nfbf-l] Bookshare

[Kirk Harmon]

Holly, if you or any  of our members are in any kind of school Bookshare 
will waive the annual fees. I was in the West Palm Beach Rehab center for 
Lap top computer class and when  I talked to a Rep from the company she 
informed me that that is good enough to qualify for the student program for 
free service. Please let all be advised. Your friend in the cause, Kirk
