HI Julie, 

I agree with your reasons totally. I know it isn't real new technology
considering AOL had it in December of 1990 when I first got on that system.
I often do wonder if books I have an interest in are desired since some of
my reading is a little off the best sellers list.

Hi, Katie. I know what you mean. I've often wondered how many people 
download the books I scan. It's nothing terribly important...just my 
curiosity getting the better of me, I guess, but I think some download 
statistics would be nice. It would, if nothing else, give you an idea of how

popular a book is and for those of us who submit and who frequently submit 
books of a given type, it would give us an idea of how many people are 
really interested in that kind of thing. Take care.

HI Jake,

I have mentioned it before but I will throw it out here again. It would be
nice to have a download counter in blue of the write a review. I don't think
I have seen a review written for a book yet.

Hi again Elizabeth,
    Yes, getting more people involved is a big goal for 2006 I think at
least. That not only means more volunteers, but more subscribing members.

    More goals will come down as the year progresses, but BookShare I think
is finding that we need more folks willing to volunteer so that we can keep
our numbers increasing at a steady pace, but the quality improving as well.

There is a fine line between numbers and quality. If a book is in overall
great shape, the thought is to not bother attempting to improve it that last

little bit, but to improve a book that drastically needs it. This will keep
the numbers going up at a small sacrifice of quality.

Schools in particular want to see that we can provide high quality books.
Having BookShare introduced to students is probably a good thing as they
will then be familiar with it for the rest of their lives. The catch of
course is to make a good impression.

Okay, I'm done with this long post *grin* just thought I'd throw some
thoughts out there.

Jake
