But we are doing the books for everybody, not just ourselves. The
print books have a certain amount of text; shouldn't the others have
the same that come from Bookshare?

I might agree with you if all books in a certain genre had reviews by
authors in the same genre. But many do not have reviews in the book at
all,
and those that do have them are not all by the same authors. So those
that
do have reviews - especially by authors that I know and like - are of
value
to me.
