Last night I discovered a newspaper/periodicals link on the bookshare home 
page.  I was surprised to find that several national periodicals (the New 
Yorker, and USA today) are now available for downloading.  It seems to have 
been there for only a few days, and I think it's great.  I haven't heard it 
mentioned at all on this list.  Are the powers that be saving this for a 
surprise?  
I generally use HTML files for reading bookshare stuff.  With the new 
periodicals it is quite easy to skip between articles, at least with Jaws, by 
moving through a headings list.
Great job, and I hope we will see more.  I vote for the NY Times, and, only 
because I live in the best place on earth, the SF Cronicle.
