I second that as well, because you helped me with Zathura and Jumanji, Jamie.

  Jamie, I'm so glad you discovered Bookshare to do your volunteering, and I 
like to think that I am one of your friends. I certainly do enjoy working with 
you on books.

    I tend to think of volunteers as people who work on books for the love of 
the book and outsources as people who work on books as a job.

    As a volunteer who is not a member, what I do for Bookshare is a labor of 
love, mostly the love of books, but there are many of you who I consider to be 
friends of mine and I would do books for you just because you are my friend. 

    I think that is the difference between a volunteer and the outsourcer. 
Volunteers put their hearts and souls into their work, in most cases. Since we 
don't know the outsourcers, we can't make the same assumption. To them it may 
be just a job.
