Hi Cindy,
I believe that Bookshare wants to become a *global* provider of books for all
blind and visually impaired people around the world, and they are certainly
working toward that goal, but every country has different copyright laws, and
most publishers are rather skeptical about the concept (although there are
exceptions). It's a long, tough road, but Jim is valiant. I only hope that
his vision is realized sooner rather than later.

(Emphasis mine).
Does that mean that soon people from other countries
will be able to have access to bookshare,or did Jim
mis-speak?
