Yeah. Blind people comprise only a minority of Bookshare users. Most of them are dyslexic.

because Chime,
bookshare is not a blindness service, but a print disabilities one, many individuals benefit from what they provide, with learning disabilities that have nothing to do with blindness.
add that sight loss is wide ranging, and she is well within her right to attach them.
After all, there are nicely done, speaking personally, descriptive tags here  too.
My greater question is if the books have been created for bookshare, or are copies of audio works created for the genera market?
I hope the first, because sometimes the commercial ones are abridged.
best,
Karen

Thank you Catherine, will explore. Meanwhile why include 12 images with your mailing, especially for those of us who are blind? Thanks in advance
