Hi Roger!

Thanks for telling us about Project Gutenberg's procedure being like Bookshare's. It's things like this we need to know.

As a matter of fact, that is how Project Gutenberg does it too, so if you have a valuable or collectible book, for goodness sake, don't send it to either organization.

Hi, Debby, when I send stuff to Bookshare, they don't send the books back,
and for my part, I don't expect them to do so. As I understand it, they
remove the covers and chop the books so the pages can be fed through a
document-reader-type scanner. I think that's why people might send them a
lot of paperback books. (Pavi, please correct me if I'm wrong about this
one. I suppose you do the same with hardback books.) Regards, Kim.

Hi everyone!

When people send books to bookshare, do they return the print books or not?
