Hi, Kathy, and thanks for the submissions! I can't wait to read them! Now,
you can feel more comfortable about scanning anything you can get your hands
on and submitting them to Bookshare. It's all a learning process, so don't
beat yourself up too much over imperfections. *smile* We're all learning.
Take care.

Hi all,
I just submitted my first 2 books! The book is: Battlefield Of The Mind by
Joyce Meyer, along with the study guide!
I love it! It's such a great feeling! It's so great to be able to share
and submit books!
I want to thank Jana, Cindy, Julie, and anyone else I may've forgotten for
their help, support, and encouragement!
It took me quite some time to get the form filled out. For me, that was the
hardest part. I kept getting errors when I tried to upload. I put
incorrect info in the required fields. It'll be a lot easier next time!
I would encourage anyone who hasn't yet submitted a book to try it.
Of course, I don't know if the books I submitted will be accepted, by the
validaters, but, so far, so good.
Have a great day everyone!
My prayers are with anyone in Hurricane Ivan's path.
Kathy
