Good post Mary. We do not get to go to the library so why not bookshare? It will not have every book so there will be lots to buy. I edit for two authors who sels publish and their books are definitely not on BKS. By the way, the books are very good, too.

I have plenty of sighted friends who use the local library quite heavily. Yes, they buy some books, but almost never novels, which they read once and don't need to keep as reference material or to revisit etc. And given the size of our market and the fact that Amazon isn't going to know if sighted or blind are the ones buying their Kindle books, to whom will we be looking better buy purchasing rather than using BARD or Bookshare etc? I've bought plenty of iBooks and some Kindle books as well and plan to continue to do that. But I certainly don't plan to go buy every novel I read from some source such as Bard or BookShare, just as my sighted friends do not.
