for you and for the list, I see this as hopefully an interem solution
and at best a solution for a few who have connectivity and the other
stuff to handle it.

Hi Folks,

This message might be slightly off topic.  So, please send responses
directly to me at [log in to unmask]  I am interested in knowing how
individuals feel about having to use this special service to obtain
electronic texts when the publisher already has these electronic texts?
I
know we are moving towards getting information a.s.a.p. no matter how
because we need the information.  However, I just get sick about all the
extra work that it takes to scan and edit books already available.  I
just
want to buy the book in an accessible format for about the same prioce
as a
print reader, or I just want to borrow the book from my library in
Winnipeg
to read in an accessible format.  Please send me some email with your
answers as there are some of us in Canada who want to make sure
accessible
formats are available to Canadians, and we would like to know the
perspective of our neighbours who are often considered in the making of
law
in Canada.
