I have wonder that myself. Surely there should be a way for bookshare to
know by the downloads what readers like. I know we don't need another list
but outside of the wish list, how about another list just for readers
telling us what they like or just for bookshare volunteers knowing what is
being down loaded. I would say that readers can let us know but we have the
wish list for that so that would beat the purpose of the wish list.

Yeah, that would be a great feature. I always wonder if anyone reads what I
submit.

Hey folks,
I have just recently begun scanning/submitting/validating books and perhaps
this question is addressed somewhere, but I've not been able to get any
answers about it.
Is there a way to find out how many times a book you have validated has been
downloaded by Bookshare users?
I suppose this may be fairly superfluous, but I love statistics and I think
it would be great to see what people are reading ... and no I don't mean
specifically what a given user is reading, just knowing what is popular
among the reading community.
