Yes, I read that book last summer, and had it not been a book I had long
wanted to read, I might have given up on it because of the errors.
However, errors and all I did enjoy the book, and since I have done a
little scanning of long books now I can understand the repeated pages
occasionally and a few other quirks that annoyed me while reading the
book.
The books on Bookshare are not perfect, but, it is making so much more
available than we had before that it is well worth the occasional
annoyances.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] words to look for
One combination to look for is corn. I was reading testimony of two men
by taylor caldwell, downloaded from bookshare, and people were
cornplaining, had cornpanions etc. As amusing as this can be, it gets a
bit ridiculous when there is a title on every other page that doesn't
make sense and it is on every page and your reading is interrupted by
some sort of gibberish every couple of minutes or so. Also, I have
discovered that reading at the highest speed on the bookport is like
reading faster over all than reading an MP3 at twice the normal speed.
That explains why I can get through long books so fast. Hope this helps
somebody. Kurt
