Actually there are a lot of books written for children that are not dependent on the pictures.

This might seem like a silly question, but how do such books actually
help anything by being part of the bookshare collection?

I assume you are talking about books like Where the Wild Things Are.
Such books are so dependant on the pictures that I'm really not sure
what a blind person would do with them, no matter how well the
pictures are described.

Am I just missing something here?

Most children's picture books, even today, do not have page numbers. I know Bookshare's new policy is that books have to have page numbers, but I don't know if Bookshare wants them added even if they weren't there in the print
book, or if the new tools just number the pages automatically.
