Hi, Cindy. NLS doesn't have just braille. They have specially-recorded
cassettes and large print as well, and the digital audio should be starting
soon. The pilot project has been around for a while, but again, that's
audio, so there are those of us who can read braille but can't access the
audio books, and NLS has more audiobooks than anything. That's why those of
us who might be eligible for NLS still can't access a lot of what they have.
Take care.

Karen,
I think--The policy is that it doesn't matter whether or not a book is
available from NLS because there are people who qualify for membership in
bookshare who don't qualify for membership in NLS. Also, not all members
read Braille; I don't know what the new digital NLS format is.
The one place people don't want to duplicate books from is Project
Gutenberg, because anyone can download from there. I've never known, though,
although I did ask once, if those books can be converted into Daisy or
Braille. I know we do have books from PG; many were donated, I believe, when
bookshare was getting started.
