Hi, Sue. The offers might be out of date, but sometimes, the ads mention different types of books, authors and that kind of thing. Sometimes, people hear about books they might be interested in through those ads...things they might not have heard of otherwise. They're not required by Bookshare, but that's why, as long as they scan well, I leave them in. Take care.

I am validating, not scanning, but you are right in saying the offers would be out-of-date. Sue S.
