Hello Rynette, I remember hearing about a website that sounds like what you are talking about and have put a post to the list serve that I believe it was posted on. I will let you know as soon as I hear something. Take care and I hope that you have a very good new year.

Unfortunately no relaxing of copyright regulations here or anything similar to bookshare.org! Take care.

I suppose the better question is where are you residing? Take care, John -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Renette Bloem Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2006 1:30 PM To: jaws mailing list Subject: bookshare.org Hi All I am not an American citizen and therefore am not allowed to join bookshare.org as a member. Although I can download very old books for free from bookshare.org, most of these books are available in Braille or on tape anyway. There however is another website where I for example can download books that members have scanned in for personal use and put on this "unknown" website. From my side I can "deposit" books that I have scanned in for myself, to the website . This has the advantage of saving ten people from scanning in the same book and makes it possible for more people to "read" more or have access to more books. Hope there is somebody who can help.
