Hi Monica,
Yes, it is exciting! I just got the email saying my payment for next year
was received. I had validated books, but nothing compared to the output of
some volunteers.
Yes, it is great to have so many books available just by downloading them.
I sometimes have trouble believing all this good fortune with which we who
are participants in bookshare.org have as a result of so much hard work by
so many dedicated volunteers and subscribers!!!

This is such an exciting week! We have several new volunteers who are
validating books, and there are some really cool books in the pipeline that
will be showing up on Bookshare soon. This is teamwork at its best, and I
want each of you who scans, validates, or buys books to know that I
appreciate you. Those of you who pay for your membership each year are
important too. You help to keep the project going and the lights turned on
at the Bookshare office. Do you all realize that we are on a pace to hit
50,000 books early next year? When you were growing up waiting for your next
tape to come in the mail or carrying a bulky Braille book around to read,
did you ever think you'd be able to access 50,000 books without needing to
wait on the mail? That is where we're headed if we keep doing what we're
doing now. I wonder whose book will be our 50,000. Will it be yours?
