Hi,
You should really look at Project Gutenberg. They also offer the majority
of the same classics for free. The difference is that bookshare took
their copies from PG. The PG editions are better proofread and have more
errors fixed. If you're really interested, you should take a look. I
know for certain that Call of the Wild is there because I've read it.
They have been cleaning up and fixing the Dickens books. A Christmas
Carol has gone through at least two new editions since bookshare took
theirs. The only thing better about bookshare is the DAISY and BRF
formats that PG doesn't offer, but I've been working with them to offer at
least Braille files. You should really look at Project Gutenberg first
for public domain books. They try for 99.9% accuracy and generally
succeed.
