Well, my guess is that bookshare.org will have it available for download by the end of the day on Sunday, if not before. You don't seem to understand, the sighted world will attempt to convince you that it costs more to create that audio book than it does the paper book. And, they really believe that the blind and others who use audio books are stupid enough to believe them. But, the real idea is to charge people whatever the market is willing to pay for a product. So, if you like the author's book you should be willing to pay whatever markup he/she and the bookstore wantsfor the book. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeanette Beal" <bealjk@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 3:05 PM Subject: [bookport] Harry Potter #7 : Hey bookport users!
