Hi, Nan.
It's free if you're a student or if you get it through your library.
If a person wants a subscription but can't afford it, they can e-mail Bookshare
to see if any of the volunteers are willing
to donate some of their credits to pay for the subscription.

Can someone clear up a puzzle for me?
I keep hearing BookShare described as being a free library for people
who are print impaired. Is it free? I had to pay. I feel weird
telling people one thing, then hearing another. No disrespect, I just
want to clarify.
AccessibleWorld.org book discussions have no cast in bronze policy about
this, but one thing I have been told is that "many people can't afford
to join BookShare" and this has limited what books I can schedule.. I am
too find other ways for people to access the books. Since BookShare is
one of the only places producing accessible versions of independently
published books.. and I say bravo for that! I am hard pressed to find a
solution.
By the way, I am delirious about the news that Smashwords and BookShare
will partner!! These days I read more books not on NLS than on.
