Hi Chris,I'm a long time member and over the last three years the number of books flowing in to the Bookshare collection has been mind boggling. There are lots of hard-to-find books in technical and science areas, as well as a growing collection of medical reference books, all ones that I never expected to ever find in an accessible format. It's fantastic.
The number of new books that come in during a day seems to average lately around 100 to 200 books during normal times, but there have been a few days in the last year where several thousand new books were added to the collection in just one day. It's a reader's heaven.

Hi All,
Just curious about something. I am assuming the answer to
this is yes. The new books section under browse contains all
new books, correct? In other words, it includes both new
novels/non-fiction, and new text books. The reason I ask is
that I was noticing primarily non-text book types of books so
was just curious.
I have to say that as a relatively new subscriber, I have
been incredibly impressed with the amount of new books that
come in in just one day and the amazing selection of books,
even some that can be a bit hard to find and are not currently
on NLS, LearningAlly or Audible.
Hope everyone here has a fabulous and very relaxing weekend!
Chris
