Hi Evan, One thing to keep in mind is that there are a fairly large number of Bookshare members with hearing impairments who either have difficulty with audio books or can't use them at all. Also, I think that audio and electronic formats are totally different when it comes to what circumstances they're best for. For example, if I need to read something and remember details from it later, I really do better if I can read it in braille. If I need to know how to spell words or names in a book, I also need to see them in braille. I realize that these factors are probably not as important in the case of a fantasy novel as they might be in the case of a nonfiction book, but still I think having the flexibility to choose between audio and electronic formats is wonderful and important. Still, if you would rather scan books that aren't available anywhere else, you're doing the print-disabled community a big favor in making books available in at least one format, which is definitely better than not having it available at all. I wouldn't scan a book that was already available through web braille, although there are people who cannot easily take advantage of that format and really need the book to be in Daisy format for best results. There is definitely an element of personal preference when we choose what to scan. There are people who deliberately choose to scan things they feel would benefit the collection even if they themselves are not particularly interested in the books they're scanning. But most of the time, most of us would choose to scan books we are personally interested in reading. This arguably selfish preference usually does benefit the collection though, because it's much easier to read your submissions through and correct errors before submitting if you really want to read the book and are interested in it. Of course proofreading isn't a Bookshare requirement, but it's obvious that proofreading is the best way to get an error-free Bookshare book.
