I joined Bookshare in March of 2002 and validated my first book in April. I
didn't scan or submit my first book until several months later, perhaps not
until 2003. I know I could look it up if I was interested in the exact
dates, which I'm really not.
I wonder what Bookshare will be like seven years from now in 2016. That
seems like such a long time from now!
