And my understanding is Bookshare had a standard.  If you could get it in a 
regular book store it was NOT to be marked AdULT.

But if it was in the X rated section of the bookstore, or behind the counter 
for the library then it was supposed to be marked ADULT.

I have very few books I have marked adult.

I like NLS's way of marking gives the people a choice if they want the 
violence, strong langue, or descriptions of sex.

What if the teen is a college student and needs to read some of those books
for college? I know of several people under the age of eighteen who are
university students and can't access certain bookshare books.
