        Hi gang,

I sure wish there was a way to find out why a book has been rejected. It could help us to maybe change our ways so to speak. I hope the person who rejected this one could let me know what the reason was. As I remember it came through quite well and I didn't find it in the list already. I guess since this message is automatically submitted there probably isn't any easy way to personalize it to give more information.
Thanks.

ABOUT BOOKSHARE.ORG
Books without Barriers

Bookshare.org is an online community that enables people in the United States with visual or other print disabilities to legally share scanned books.

Where do the digital books come from?
The Bookshare.org collection is built and shaped primarily by its community of members and supporters. By scanning a book to submit to the collection, a Bookshare.org member can provide all other members access to that book.


Who can access the books?
Copyrighted digital books are available only to U.S. residents who have a disability that affects print reading and have a current subscription. Organizations such as schools can sponsor access for their students through a School or Group Account.


A limited number of books are available to non-U.S. residents because of publisher permission. Visit this link on our website to find out more:
http://www.bookshare.org/web/AboutInternationalMembership.html


Why is Bookshare.org legal?
In general, it would be illegal to share or distribute copyrighted books. However, Bookshare.org takes advantage of a special exemption in U.S. copyright law that permits the reproduction of publications into specialized formats for the disabled. This project is possible under the law in the United States, as long as the copyrighted digital books are only available to people in the U.S. with bona fide disabilities and the nonprofits and schools that serve them. For more information, please visit our website at
http://www.bookshare.org/web/Legalities.html.


Who is providing Bookshare.org?
Bookshare.org is a project of the Benetech Initiative, a nonprofit organization. The Benetech team originally developed the Arkenstone reading systems, and is now using the power of technology to introduce new projects such as Bookshare.org - www.benetech.org.
