My point is not about what individual members choose to do. My point is
about how the system works--how individual books are considered to be adult
or not. What people do with their own reading time is not my concern--what
choices they are given in the first place is interesting, though.

-But people have the choice of signing up not to receive Adult-rated books or not, so it isn't really censorship on the part of Bookshare. If parents want their under-18-aged chlildren to be able to access *everything* on bookshare, can they take the membership in their own names as their children's guardians?
Maybe the age limit should be lowered from 18 to 16, or the form should be changed so that Parents' Consent could be added. I'm not a member and so haven't seen the application form, so I don't know what's on it and what isn't, I admit.
