Right now, we don't really have the money to buy new books and I don't have
access to a library, so I just scan whatever I can get my hands on! <smile>
Thanks to a few people on the Bookshare lists, I have plenty to scan for
now, but if circumstances don't change soon, I don't know what I'll do!
<smile> Take care.

Hi. I'm curious to know where most of you like to get the books you
scan. Do most of you use a print library, or do you buy your
books? Do any of you belong to one of the online book of the month clubs?
I like to buy used books to scan. I have bought several books from
Amazon sellers. Today I just received my first book from half.com
. You can buy used books, textbooks, and movies from the site. It's
owned by Ebay, but you don't bid on the items there. You just buy
them like if you went to a large garage sale. Even with the cost for
shipping, I can usually buy a book for half the price of a new
one. The paperback I got today cost me a total of $5.50, and it's in
like new condition. Amazon wants $10.98 for a new copy, and that
doesn't include shipping.
On that note, I'm off to scan my new book. <grin>
Monica
