Hi all, I have to agree, I have only had my subscription and I have already recouped the money if I would have bought the books. My wife and I like similar books. She will not tell me the titles any more because I go to book share and read them before she has a chance to finish reading them. Scott

Personally, I have yet to see a place where so many books are so readily available to blind people, and most of the ones I have downloaded have been quite readable, and some are excellent! For the price, Bookshare is definitely worth it, especially with all these small gadgets like the BrailleNote and BookPort to read them on. Sorry, Sarai, you're the only one I know of who is having this kind of trouble. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sarai D.

I think Bookshare is a littl expensive for books that aren't that good quality. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah Cranston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 1:08 PM Subject: Off topic: was RE: [Braillenote] 6.1 Yes it's true, the Book Port only works on systems running Windows XP. That would make a wonderful present, Christmas or otherwise. So would a Bookshare membership. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to read all those good books in Braille without having to carry volumes of paper around. Just one of the awesome things about the BrailleNote! Happy Birthday, Stacey.

A membership to Bookshare! Now that's a really nice gift! there're thousands of good books up there from what I hear and some are free! maybe you can hit your husband up for a Bookport for Christmas to help you read all those books! <smile> that'll give him time to save up his pennies! <grin> but one cabeat! You need windows XP to operate Bookport from what I heard. I wonder if this is really true though???????? Happy birthday!
