Roger, I think part of the problem is that US laws prohibit certain
materials from being available to persons under the age of 18. Those books I
listed would definitely fall into that category. Most of the books currently
being marked as adult, don't. There's a reason why you have to be 18 to
subscribe to or buy certain magazines in stores or to even go in the adult
video section of a movie store.
I suggested a long time ago that Bookshare decide on an age, like 8 or 9 or
10 though I think 10 is too old, and let those subscribers only download
books marked "childrens" books without additional parental consent.
But some things do HAVE to be marked adult. Just most of the things that are
currently being marked adult are not TRULY adult materials.
