I think the out of copyright ones might be readable. It has been a long
time since I tried, but I think I remember getting something from there
to read for me. And this reminds me of something. A long time ago I
mentioned on this list that as I understand the copyright exception it
should be legal for Google Books to turn over its entire collection to
Bookshare. That would mean that the Bookshare collection could increase
by several millions in a very short time and I wondered if there were
any prospects for that and if not then why. Pavi, who was our mediator
with Bookshare at the time, said that Bookshare was actually in talks
with Google to do just that. Obviously it still has not been done.
Whatever happened to that anyway?

messages to post properly to the other Bookshare list.
I have a friend who wants to know whether the books on Google books are
only images or is there some way to read them with speech. I suspect that
they are
only images but wonder if any of them have been readable with a screen
reading program.
Thanks.
