Hi, Sue. Bookshare just got a brand new scanner that scans 90 pages, on both sides, per minute. They can scan the average paperback in two or three minutes now, and that blows my mind! Also, they are actively hiring a person to do nothing but scan and process books. That's why I thought the idea might work. They still have their old scanner too, and they are planning to ramp up the number of books they do by the end of the year. I don't know if my idea is a good one, and that's why I'm asking. Once they have the new staff member in place, I'm going to send Bookshare around 60 books for middle school students that I don't have time to work on myself. They can scan the whole batch of books in an hour or less, and it would take me days.
