Hi Lori I will try to answer your question with this, if you'd like my opinion further you can email me off list. With the official wish list on the site I have taken a few of them in the past. The problem is that others took the same books and got them submited before I did. which means my scanning them was a waist of time b/c bookshare only accepts one copy. On this list the thing I like about it is that 1. you know who takes the request 2. if they do you can ask them about updates 3. If they can't some ppl will say why they can't e. i. I can't find the book so yes the putting a book request is different when putting it on the list. Take care Anastasia --------------------------------- Looking for a deal?
