This is because of a copyright law that allows U.S. residents to
access the books, but the law (or rather, the exception to the
law) does not extend out of the country. Thisno one's fault
except whoever made the laws.
Have a great day,

Hi, everyone,
I certainly agree with the unhappiness about the directions
Humanware
seems to be heading. In short, they are not serving their
customers well.
However, this situation also makes me wonder why, in our age
of
increasing globalization, bookshare is not available to anyone
outside the
US? Why is this service so restrictive and so insular?

Hi Ms. Pearson:
You DO NOT OWE ANYONE AN APOLOGY for expressing your opinion.
Each of
us--whether you got your Braillenote/MPower/Pk from a rehab
service in a
state in the United States--or you actually SHELLED OUT the
funds to MAKE
THE PURCHASES--each of us has a right to get the very best out
of our
equipment. The Messenger HAD BEEN SO LONG in coming, so why
should I now
JUMP UP because it is incorporated into Keysoft 8? No PUBLIC
BETA made
available to the community of users, so how do I know it will
even work
well
until I get it?
My disappointment has to do with the fact that I CANNOT CHANGE
MY OWN
BATTERIES. Why not? Suppose I live in Pharaoh's Island, where
do I go to
have my batteries changed?
Why should most major updates only be beneficial to folks living
in the
United States or Canada? Even Canadians CAN'T USE Bookshare, so
what
benefits do they derive from much concentration on the service?
Back to square one we are, constantly caught between a rock and
a hard
place--and the price we pay for it all never seems to get
discounted!
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
