I do indeed have a victor stream. But honestly, I don't much like reading any kind of text books on it because I'm not a big fan of the TTS voices on it. But yes, you're point still stands. :)

Hi, Ana, and if you have a device such as the VR Stream and/or a Braille
display (or as in my case, a Braille notetaker that can stand alone or work as a Braille display when hooked up to the computer) you have two libraries
of books for your perusal. Regards, Kim.

You're certainly not the only one who downloads much faster than you read.
I do that all the time. But hey, better to have extra books on hand in case
the net goes out or something happens, than to get stuck with no books to
read.  Now that, to me, would be quite a disappointment.

The suspense is high.  Are we going to reach the 10,000 mark for the
last 30 days.  It wasn't so  long ago that 2,000 was considered a very
high number.
I just checked the site, and now, it is up to 9,952.

I continue to watch that figure.  Even if it  doesn't reach ten
thousand, it is still amazing.

I remember those  early days of Bookshare.  Many  of the books were
not in good shape.  The subject was varied, but many gaps existed  in
the collection.  There was a lot more nonfiction than fiction.
Although the history area was reasonably large, the selection did not
include many modern book.

Now, it is possible to get books on almost any subject, and  I
download more than I will ever read.
