you can keep Bookshare downloads for as long as you like. it is not a
library in the traditional sense.

Subject: Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
Just so I'm clear, do the books from BookShare have a time limit on their
borrowing?
How about the people you know who borrow books on Kindle? is there a time
limit on them or, like iBooks, are there just sample chapters?
Thanks so much!
Cara :)

I just wanted to chime in and agree with Mary. Sighted people use
books from the library, they also borrow books they can read on their
Kindle. Bookshare in a sense is the same thing. Many of their books
are provided by the publishers as well.
If I can download a book from bookshare I will use that before I
purchase it from
Amazon.,

Cara,
Would you suggest that sighted people forego the use of the public library
or other sources, such as a university library, if you happen to be lucky
enough to have access to one, and buy all their books? Equality is great,
but equality ought also to mean being able to avail oneself of all
available
resources. In a free and open society where access to information is not
limited to only those who can afford to buy everything, it seems to me
that
your position sets the bar higher for the blind than it is for the rest of
the reading public.
