Bookshare is truly unique in that it is the only source truly accessible to 
physically handicapped people who want accessible PRINT like our family.  Not 
everyone qualifies for the range of accessible book services, either ...

Assuming I understand correctly, I really disagree with this one.  If it's a 
talking book I would still want it on BookShare especially if it's nonfiction 
and has documentation.  Catton's Centennial series on the Civil War has notes 
and I would have liked to know it and have access to them. The earliest version 
on records never mentioned notes at all and the subsequent tape version only 
has 
the notes with text as part of them being read.
