I am reading the book and not noticing that may strange characters.
However, I have to admit that I am allowing the Braille Note to read it
to me most of the time since it is faster.

First, I need to apologize for the garbage in the new Harry Potter book.
I tried to clean it up, but Gustavo said that there were a lot of people
waiting for it, so I quick submitted it so he could approve it. I'm
planning on making the copy pretty and re-submitting it this weekend, so
it'll be better looking.
Second, I got an email from someone in Argentina BEGGING me for a copy
of the book. He swore he wouldn't print it or pass it on to anyone
else. Yeah right! He is clearly well-educated, uses excellent English,
but has no money for the book? Give me a break. Since only members can
see my name as the submitter, a member must have shown him accidentally
(or intentionally?) my name and email address. No, I'm not sending him
a response of any sort, and I suggest that everyone else do the same if
you get similar emails. My 2 cents. [BTW, Gustavo checked his name,
and he's not a member.]
Third, hi to everyone. Gustavo just put me back on the list today.
Anything happen while I was gone the past month?

something.
Sure, a whole bunch of people considered important to read HP6 on day
one;
many others don't.
Secondly, even if someone viewed it essential first day reading, they
had
to know that Bookshare had it on day one.
As most subscribers are cassual rather than inveterate users, they were
(and probably still are not) aware of the availability.
I believe that either Janice or Gustavo last week mentioed that
BookShare
has around 3,000 active user accounts;
given that as a baseline, 260 in a little over a day represents nearly
10%
which is an amazing number to retrieve anything.
