Actually, and I can hunt a source for this, such would mirror publishing
practices. Many Canadian books cannot be distributed in the u. s.
Bookshare would be following copyright laws in this regard.
Works in reverse as well. Granted I have not checked for a while, but not
a single Harry Potter book from the first 7 is available for Canadian
members of Bookshare.

I have a question?
Once before I asked if Bookshare provided say only Canadian items for
Canada, that could not be downloaded if in the U. S., the way they provide
U. s. titles that could not be downloaded in Canada.
At the time the answer was no, but it seems this has changed?

Hi,of available commands, put the word 'help' by itself in the subject line.
Just to see what would happen, I did a basic search for "Naomi
Klein" and found the book you've mentioned. However: once I
logged in, generating the "My Bookshare" page, I also found the
following: "This is a restricted title. Either it is not
available for download in your region, or your address
information is incomplete."
Well: this happened one other time, and I confirmed then what I
already knew, that my subscription information is fully accurate
and up-to-date. Therefore, the "not in your region" would seem
to apply, since this book, like the other one that led to this
message, comes from a Canadian publisher. Two related things,
which I also experienced with the other title: you'll only find
it listed if you do an author search generically, you could
say-without logging in. If you are logged in before as search,
it won't appear in the results. "Don't worry, I'm almost done":
this situation resolved itself the first time-the book became
available-within a month or two, I forget the specific time
frame. And I have the link to the page, if someone wants to see
whether it's accessible whereever you are. Let me know.
