Just so I'm clear, do the books from BookShare have a time limit on their borrowing?
How about the people you know who borrow books on Kindle? is there a time limit on them or, like iBooks, are there just sample chapters? Thanks so much!

Sighted people use books from the library, they also borrow books they can read on their Kindle. Bookshare in a sense is the same thing. Many of their books are provided by the publishers as well. If I can download a book from bookshare I will use that before I purchase it from Amazon., On 5/12/13, Mary Otten <motte...@gmail.com> wrote: > Cara, > > Would you suggest that sighted people forego the use of the public library > or other sources, such as a university library, if you happen to be lucky > enough to have access to one, and buy all their books?
