Didn't know that; I frankly haven't looked at the membership info since joining five years ago. :) This makes me very happy, since my daughter is off to college next year and her brother will follow suit in a few years. I love bookshare almost as much as I love my iPhone and my Mac. I often find myself feeling a tad envious of my kids; I would have had such a completely different experience growing up with the wealth of information these resources provide. Just two examples: not receiving my Braille textbooks on time would not have made much of a difference if I had bookshare and/or iBooks, and reading children's and young adult books, let alone newspapers at the same time as others, would have meant the world to me, as it does today.
