Hi Tracy,
I'm still confused as to why you are thinking there are only 50
volunteers? The figures Gustavo gave referenced the first quarter of this
year. Case in point, I was not included in the listing because my renewal
date isn't until July.

In the first three months of 2006, 20 individuals earned entirely free
subscriptions to Bookshare.org. Over 50 members reduced their subscription
costs. Our members earn credits that defray their subscription costs every
time they ubmit new or improved books or volunteer to validate submitted
books. Please do remember that only individuals who provide us with
documentation of a qualifying print-disability can become subscribers.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Only 50?
Pratik, One of us is reading the newsletter wrong. As I read it, Gustavo said that *six* people paid for their subscription entirely through volunteering, and *fifty* paid for some part of their subscription, which leads me to think that there are only a bit more than 50 volunteers. So how many of us are there? I don't see that that needs to be a company secret. However many there are, I think we need more. It would be particularly handy to have some volunteers willing to concentrate on textbooks, which seems to be a big push for Bookshare, but which many of us find totally uninteresting. Tracy
