I know I'm coming in late on this thread, so if I'm not understanding the
quesiton at hand correctly, I appologize. While I see the benefit of
knowing which books are more popular with bookshare.org subscribers, I
would not want to see a decline in submissions of less popular
books. Understanding the numbers might help us prioritize books,
especially books in a series as Mike pointed out. One of the nice things
about bookshare, though, is that one can find some of the more obscure
books which people contribute from their own personal collections.

Mike,
Of course, but this one I think falls lower on the priorities. Things like the submission form I would rather see updated first.
And as you said a while back, this type of data Benetech might not want to release.

And so we did on CompuServe. It really gave us a good feel of files people wanted and which just took up space. As a submitter, I wonder which books are valued by the customers and which just are there. This type of info would also be useful in deciding whether scanning other books in a series warranted the time commitment.
