Hi all,
Dunnow why there's such a hoodoo. This is a problem easily solved. If
Carrie buys the books, which is part of Bookshare's contract with us as
a provider of books, then why doesn't she put out a call for help when
scanning a best seller is not within her comfort level? She could
mail the purchased book to whomever volunteered to scan it. It would
be a priority call on the volunteer list, sort of like an emergency 911
or something. She shouldn't be forced to scan and read something that
makes her feel uncomfortable. At the same time, Bookshare has made a
commitment to scan all the best sellers. Therefore, an emergency or
high priority request to the volunteer list would solve this issue handily.
In addition, with the new funding now available, it should be possible
to pay scanners. Once a scanner, hmmm, or is that scannor, is paid,
then he or she cannot demur when asked to scan books which make him/her
uncomfortable. Or, at least the issue is not as important. If a
scannor is paid, then perhaps there could be two employed so that what
one won't or can't scan the other can?

P.S., I'm spelling the person who scans with an o r instead of an e r
to distinguish the machine from its user. I have no idea if this is
correct, but it makes sense to me. Yeh, I know I'm cracked. Just
humor me, eh?
