I just took a look at those languages myself and, indeed, there are no books listed in Chinese or Japanese, but I do notice that Russian is there. That Cyrillic alphabet would be kind of hard to render too. Unless, I suppose, it had already been converted to Roman letters. If that is the case then Chinese or Japanese could be treated the same way, couldn't they?

Hi Jackie, I doubt that Bookshare has books in Japanese or Chinese. Those languages don't use the same alphabet and conversion would be very very complicated. Here's how you can check. Go to advanced search, and in the area for language, see what your options are. If the language you want is listed there, then there is at least one book in that language. If a language is not listed in the list of languages from which you can choose, well then, there aren't any books in that language.

I shouldn't say less common, but rather less read or well I don't know a good word for it. Jackie
