Hi Brenda,
Bookshare is currently fully available to anyone with a qualifying print
disability in the United States, and on a much more limited basis globally.
It is unfortunate that I know a number of blind people who do not currently
have Bookshare. Anyone who is a blind computer user and does not have
Bookshare is, well, crazy... :-) Just kidding, really, but you get the
idea. I climbed aboard shortly after its opening back in February of 2002.

Now wait a minute. It shouldn't be just the number of books
uploaded. It should be also how many people can get them and
read them. Otherwise, the blind community can give someone some
very bad press.
