Gutenberg has a bunch of formats that you can download. The trick is to download the one that is compatible with your system. Here is something you might want to try. OpenLibrary.org has pretty much everything Gutenberg has except for Gutenberg's public domain magazines. If you are using Bookshare then I would suppose you have a Daisy reader. Open Library's downloadable books are all available in Daisy. Their protected Daisy books, that is, the ones that are in copyright, require an NLS key to read, but all of their Daisy books from Gutenberg are available for reading without any kind of key.

Thank you everybody! I guess that means I don't need to scan this book. But tell me why I couldn't find it by author, title, or subject? I do log in (I am a user) and I don't think I have any filters on. Oh well, I have a whole stack of books to scan. An OT question, has anybody tried to download books fron Gutenberg to their computer? I have had trouble with downloading. If you know how, please tell me.Thank you.----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike" <mlsestak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 11:22 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: planning to scanI'm pretty sure that if you are not logged in all you will see are excellent and publisher quality books. Even if you are logged in, you either have to use advanced search and check all quality levels, or have them set in your profile. I just put case for Christ without any quotes in quick search and the book came up as the first on the list. You also have to have adult content set in your profile or in advanced search. That isn't a problem in this case, but sometimes books accidentally get flagged as having adult content when they don't.Misha On 10/11/2011 10:30 PM, Debby Franson wrote:Hi Lori!Yes, the quotes found it. I don't know if I can think of another time when I had to use them to find what I was searching for.
