Julia, Are you talking about Web Braille or DTB books? In either case, it is 
very easy to download a particular book if you know the name of the book or the 
author. If you want help, write me off list at jillocon@xxxxxxxxxxx

  Then there are the blind people who just don't have the technical expertise 
to figure out the nls site. As it stands right now, I find it very hard to find 
a particular book since there are no title and author edit fields.

    I think we forget a population of the blindness community when we have 
these discussions and that is those with both blindness and hearing loss. This 
can make it difficult if not impossible to read audio books so bookshare is a 
real need for this population.  Also, those with learning disabilities are 
another population we need to take into account.  So I say keep scanning, it's 
better to have books available in many different formats.
