I usually sword bye literature and fiction and then sort it by date added. I
used to just be able to search to buy new books, but I had to weed through a
lot of books that I had no interest in.

Well, speaking only for myself, I have no issues finding loads of fiction at
Bookshare.
for me nls and bookshare can work in harmony as I find items in one that I do
not find in the other. further nls does not provide text and bookshare does.
still, your idea of fiction and mine may be different. likewise our methods
of searching.

As a personal comment,
I don’t rely on Bookshare for fiction, except in very rare cases. I’ve
actually told friends that there’s more fiction on BARD and at NLS in
general than I could read in ten lifetimes. . Where I have found Bookshare
worth the membership is in the realms of history, biography and religion.
Many such books are likely to make their way into an NLS catalog belatedly,
if at all.
Again, this is purely a personal view, and we each have our own.
Cheers! JH

It’s nice that bookshare has so many nonfiction books which must be
helpful for professionals, and I understand that some publishers dump books
on us for reasons of their own, but where did the fiction go, and how do I
find it among thousands of technical books? Where is the Bookshare I have
known and loved for years?
