Scott,
Those reasons sound more like what members would give. Are those the
choices volunteers have? If so, there does not seem to be a choice for
non-member volunteers such as our non-print impaired volunteers.

Thanks Bob. There is a "Reasons for Volunteering" box. Answers include.
"i want to join"
"I want to volunteer because I use Bookshare."
"i want 2 read book!! im a student!!"
"BECAUSE I WANT TO READ MORE BOOKS."
"I want to download books here to broaden my education. I'm very sorry if
I'm not what your looking for, but I'm not much of a volunteer."
"read books"
"Share book"

That's really interesting Scott. I think the stats are certainly worth
looking at.
Is there a question on the sign-up form something like "how did you hear
about bookshare?" I think the answer to that questionn would be very
helpful.
