Thank you Gerald and others for bringing this to my attention. It's going on my to-do list right now to contact them.

Noel,

Check out the following link.

http://www.webscription.net/news.aspx?showarticle=2
It's a news item on Baen's e-book website that says that their books will be 
provided at no cost to disabled readers.
The web page contains a link to a form which you'll need to fill out. Once the form's processed, which appears to take no more than a day, all Baen 
ebooks will be available for download at no cost.  That includes the
Advanced Reader Copies (ARC), as well as the finished books and the monthly 
bundles of books they offer at a discount.
I sent Janice an e-mail suggesting that Bookshare contact Baen to ask if they'd also provide the books directly to Bookshare, but the suggestion probably got lost when Janice left, so I'm copying Lisa to make sure she's 
aware of the suggestion.

Noel,

Bean began offering all of their titles free to those with qualifying
disabilities a few months ago. Someone else who is more interested in that 
genre I'm sure has the link for you.

Dave,

1635: The Cannon Law came out first.
Then will come 1634: The Baltic War
And finally 1634: Bavarian Crisis
There will also be published
Ring of Fire 2
This year.

The Baen website does not, I prepeat, does not have the whole series
online
for free. For free, they have 1632 and 1633. If you buy the newest book, you'll get all of the books up to 1634: The Baltic War on a cd which is in the book. If you can find the other copies, please furnish a legal link. 
I
know all the books are available on bookshare, and I'll be planning to 
scan,
unless someone else does, the upcoming books. Eric Flint would probably 
not
like to publish a free copyof his book on the web site, especially since 
you
can buy the book on Baen Webscriptions for like $15 or $25. I've never 
done
the webscriptions thing, but just scanned it myself so that others could 
enjoy it as well legally.

Please enlighten me Dave :).

Noel

Hi Noel,

It's not that I'm trying to deter you from scanning the book for the
Bookshare collection, but you can get it for free from the Baen web
site along with all the others in the series including 1635 The Cannon 
Law.

Hey guys,
Last time I bought the newest 1634 book, it was scanned within the first days of publication. I'm planning on scanning 1634: The Baltic War by 
David
Weber. Is anyone planning on scanning it to? If not, I'll go ahead with it; I really really want to read it so it'll get on bookshare somehow :). 
All the best.

Noel
