Well now you're going to have a new problem: deciding what to read first. You may laugh, but it's a serious dilemma! Now with Bookshare, I find that I have so many choices that I'm more impatient. If a book isn't immediately riveting, I move on to something else. I do eventually get back to reading the passed-over book, but still, I find this a little disturbing.

Hi Sue, Thanks so much. <smile> I went into my favorite category and started downloading books. There are so many books I found, that I've always wanted, and didn't have, so I just downloaded to my heart's content. lol. I'm going to do the same thing today! I haven't unpacked these books yet. lol. Thanks much to all of you for the warm welcome. You are all loving! <smile> Pat Ferguson At 06:02 PM 3/25/05, you wrote: >Hi Pat, > >I can tell you how I go about deciding what to download.
