Hi,
I really like the ability to use Kindle, iBooks or Nook to get titles that
will possibly never show up on Bookshare, but there's no doubt about it:
Bookshare is a killer deal. I highly recommend the service to all of my
students, urging them to buy a subscription even after their student membership
expires. Where else can you get 1200 books or more for fifty bucks a year?
Over the years since I've established my Bookshare membership I've amassed a
library of close to a couple thousand books and that's a conservative estimate.
I regularly search Bookshare every few days for even more additions. So I
definitely don't want Bookshare to go away any time soon.

Hello,
I can read a lot of books for $50 a year, so am going to keep my bookshare
membership.

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.

I wouldn't exactly call 50 bucks a year free. 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.

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.
Best,
Eileen

I'm not wearing a diaper, so don't try to change me.
