I am a member of bookshare, and even though I don’t download many of their books, I keep my membership more as a way to help sponsor the good work that they do. The only other thing that I will say about this matter is that Bookshare was founded at a time when there were very few sources of timely reading material available to the blind. this situation has changed greatly even in just the last year or two, so I’m beginning to wonder if Bookshare is as relevant or needed as it was, say 10 years ago.

You can buy allot of books for that kind of money. All kidding aside, I am a Bookshare member and I also have the iBooks and Kindle reading apps. I like the iBooks app better then the Kindle app but on the other hand, choice is good. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eileens Misrahi To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2013 8:49 AM Subject: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare Hello List, Besides the obvious of,Bookshare not having a particular book, what other advantages does the Kindle app have over using Bookshare to access books? I will check Bookshare first to see if the book that I want to read is there to download because of the ability to download the book for free. I have "Read2Go" & Voice Dream apps on the phone to accomplish this. What features in the Kindle app is unique to app that is not in the other apps? Input on this would be great. Thanks in advance.
