I have to agree. Nls just sent me something I read last year after sending it to bookshare to scan. And while I would still like to see everything in brf as well as other formats jst because right now I pretty much read on a braille display only, I am glad we have different options, braille thanks to ideas from people on this list and who've e-mailed me privately, I've been able to figure out the publisher quality books and how to save them to txt readable some where else and I don't have to put up with the bad audio and soetimes bad narration or voices I just don't care for and tapes that haven't been played in who knows how long so my player can hardly work wit the tapes. I am thankful for nls as well, but am constantly amazed how quickly things are readable and how that is pretty much every topic you can think of and not something someone thinks we might like reading. ----- Original Message ----- From: <talmage@xxxxxxxxxx>

Isn't that the truth!Sitting around and listening to others discuss recent releases that I wouldn't have had a chance to read for years, if ever, was not an enjoyable feeling. Now I'm amazed to find quite often that I've already finished books friends are just trying to obtain. Thanks Bookshare, with a special endorsement for your NY Times Best Sellers!Dave At 07:19 AM 3/7/2008, you wrote:Shoot, folks, when you consider that against not having the book at all or having to wait two years to have the book read by NLS, I do believe that the perspective will become self evident....Just a personal note here. I was walking into Church Choir rehearsal on Wednesday night and struck up a conversation with one of the other sopranos about the book I'm currently validating. Oh, yes, she said. That's her newest book isn't it, came out late last year. Now folks, when has that happened to you? That, my friends, is a total rush for me! I used to sit smiling at dinner tables and in other gatherings while people around me discussed the latest books. Now, *I* can do it too! That, I am afraid puts things into perspective for me pretty darn quick.Ann P.To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line.
