Hi Marilyn,
Are you a member of bookshare.org, or are you a sighted volunteer? We were

print-disabled person, a subscription gives you the right to download books
from the collection.

Hi Mayrie.
First, thank you for the answer about Tabs/Spaces at the beginning of
a paragraph. Very helpful and totally understood.
Second, how much is a subscription? What does a subscription give
you the right to do?
Thanks SO MUCH,
Marilyn
