Hi Monica,
Not Cindy, but with all the bookshare staff has to do, who would have time
to scan all those books?

Cindy, did you know that Google has indexed our wish list? (smile) I wonder
if somewhere down the road we could code a page where people could buy the
books on the wish list and actually donate them to Bookshare. Maybe peple
who already have the books that they have read could send them to Bookshare
too. It could be like a sort of book drive where the general public might be
willing to help us. People may not have the time to help us scan, but they
might have the money or the books to help us build the collection. They
could have the books sent to the Bookshare office either through Amazon or
by mailing them directly. What do you think?

Just in case there's anyone out there who is wondering
what to scan next, there are over 1080 fiction books
on the Wish List, not counting the Princess Diary
books or ones that re already being scanned, and 328
nonfiction books, excluding those being scanned or
spoken for. Also, Jake's site has a list of books that
need rescans (and some are listed on the Wish List,
too).
