Hi, Jamie. You do get credits, but unfortunately, you can't do anything with
them as a sighted volunteer who wouldn't be qualified to become an actual
member of the site. I know Cindy has been interested in the idea of giving
her credits to someone who can become a member, just so someone could be
using them, but that would be too involved, and as was said on this list
before, Bookshare does need the money they get for memberships, so they
don't support something like that. Take care.

Oh my gosh! 20 seconds to scan a page? No wonder some
of you are able to submit so many books. I'm always
amazed when I see a list of 4 or 5 books a person has
submitted in one day. It truly took me 3 weeks to scan
this book, but I didn't scan every day. I scanned when
I was sick of homework, sick of housework, or when I
get tired of a whiny 8 year old boy I put my iPod on
and listen to something while I scan (I have been
listening to Voices of the Shoah).
Twenty seconds to scan a page. That is so incredible.
BTW I was surprised to see I have $4 in my account.
Like I'm ever going to need that (smile). Well, I hope
not anyway! But I didn't realize credits went to
people who don't have a qualifying reason to need
Bookshare.
