You also receive 50 cents credit per each book that you apply the Basic Publish procedure on. Do 100 of those per year and you cover your subscription. I suppose they don't think that all persons will participate in this effort and perhaps if so, they will enact different requirements. I don't have a lot of time to scan books at the moment but in time I will for various reasons. believe in the longrun, it will be a worthwhile service provided it will be able to thrive.

Was: USA: Online book-sharing service Hi all, <smile> Gena, it is my understanding that if you contribute books, you get $2.50 knocked off your next year's fee. So, if you scanned 20 books, then your next year's subscription would be free. the money should go to pay for the server and so on. I don't know about salaries for other stuff. I think this is a worthwhile project, I just wish it were slightly more accessible. Ann P. -- Ann K.
