I don't believe that is a problem at all. So far as I understand the ruels, any book published any where in the world can be scanned and placed on bookshare. I have downloaded and read a poul anderson book published in England. There was a similar addition published in the US, but there was a seperate englisyh addition. There are several J. k. Rowling books published only in england which were scanned for the Harry Potter fans amoung us. So Go Ahead scan them books! ----- Original Message ----- From: "robert tweedy" <rtweedy2@xxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 10:15 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] copyright > I can get some books but the problem, they were published in England. Black Lace is the publisher in England for mainly women who enjoy mature material. The problem is there is no publisher for the United States. I am sending back two books because of this reason. Do I understand correctly that there has to be a publisher for books just for this country or other books that are published outside the U.S have to have a publisher here? There has to be a distributor of some kind. > > >
