Ann,

You are right, but there is one major consideration.  You have to have 
certain equipment before you can even work off a subscription, and there are 
soome people who just do not have the money to spare for a computer or 
notetaker.

Hi all,

I agree that any person who is blind and doesn't have access to
bookshare is selling themselves short.  Actually if you think about it
$50.00 per year isn't bad.  It works out to  $0.14 per day for a
library of 36,000 books!  Those books you can read and delete or read
and keep forever!  For $0.14 per day, that's a tenth of the cost of a
cup of coffee, you have access to newspapers and magazines and as many
books as you could possibly want!

Heck, if you can't afford it, I think they will let you work off the
subscription by validating or contributing books, so there's no reason
to stay without Bookshare.  Hey, put $0.14 in a jar every day for a
year, and you'll have the price of a Bookshare subscription.
