Hi Pat, I can tell you how I go about deciding what to download. The first thing I did after becoming a member was to look up my favorite authors to see if Bookshare had anything of theirs I had not read. Also, I look at the new books every day now since they are being put up so quickly. Sometimes I find an author that I haven't read and end up liking. Also, if you decide to become a volunteer to proofread (called validate here), you get to keep the copy you download, and that is another way of finding new categories, authors and titles you like.. Hapy reading!

Hi Sue and Everyone, Thanks much. I do appreciate the kindness so very much. I kind of don't know where to start, meaning what do I download first? lol. I think the Compact Flash cards are wonderful. I hope they come down in price soon. Thanks.
