Hi Julia, You'll be sent an e-mail once the packaging of your book is complete. If no one has requested the book in this format before, the tools have to create it. You'll be sent an e-mail containing a link which you can use to download your mp3 once it is ready for you to download. At least, that's how I was led to believe it works. And all books in the Bookshare collection are eligible for download in mp3 format, as far as I know. If someone has already downloaded any particular book in mp3 format, you may be able to download it immediately. I think that's what I understood, anyway. Bookshare attempted to have many of the most popular books ready for download before this launch began. So, in short, Julia, just be patient. If tons of folks have put in requests for books in mp3 format, you could have a rather long wait for your book. But you will be notified by e-mail once the book you chose is ready. Happy reading!

Hi Valerie and list. I'm excited, or I would be, if I could get the download to work. I waited over an hour and a half before giving up and going to bed. I tried to download "The Warded Man" by Peter V. Brett. Julia On 29/03/2012 12:25 AM, Valerie Maples wrote: > Is no one else excited about the opportunity to download books in MP3 > format now?
