Actually, I am nt sure NLS does. they have what they think are current or
very top authors but I think there is a lot they will never have and
Bookshare just keeps growing! i love that I can go buy a book sinc my
equipment here isn't that great and they will scamn it and put it up and we
can all read it, and for me, I don't have to wonder what to do when it has
been read.
