Yes, I know about those weak moments.  I often order more books from NLS or 
RFB&D than I can possibly read because they sound interesting and I 
underestimate how much time it will take to read them.  Also, I just like 
having lots of books around.  The great thing about Bookshare is that I can get 
anything I think that sounds interesting, it takes up almost no space, and it 
doesn't need to be returned.  The only downside - for those of us brought up on 
paper or taped books - is that you don't have the pleasure of being surrounded 
by books you can touch.  Isn't life hard in this modern world? <grin>

  Hi, No there wasn't a problem. I have a couple of things in my validation 
queue and after downloading it I decided between those and the books that 
Monica sent me that I better just release it. It's the kind of book that a 
number of people may be interested in reading. A weak moment. Sometimes I think 
I can do more than I canJ

  I know she is on this list, so I thought I would ask Kaitlyn Hill if there 
was a problem with "The Singularity Is Near".  If I understand the comment 
history on Step One, she had it for a little over three minutes and returned 
it, but gave no reason.  I would like to validate this and add it to the 
collection, but I really don't have time to read through it entirely.  But if 
she found a problem with it, perhaps I can straighten it out quickly and get it 
on the admin queue if the scan looks good overall.

   

  I wonder if a Kurzweil was used to scan the Kurzweil book? <smile>
