By having lots of platforms to chose from, add something like Kindle's whispersync so we can change devices and be in the same place. And to have bookmarks and notes available everywhere would be a dream come true! It's so frustrating having tools that almost work well in the classroom, at home, outside, in the car......sigh.

Making books available in ePub formate would make syncing with eReaders much quicker and better.

In many childen's books, illustrations are extremely important to the story. The books don't make sense unless you see the pictures.

Bookshare does have a great selection of books but does not look carefully evough at the mistakes made in the braille format of the books. Mistakes include mispelling and misuse of contractions. Not being able to tell what some words are and other things.

Some visuals are importent to the meaning of the text.

Add to Bookshare's library with the help of accessible on-line project's like Project Gutenberg and the Open Library.

Allow users to enter the title of a book so they get notified via email when it becomes available on Bookshare.

I prefer the natural voices of Learning Ally, and like to follow along in books as I listen to them. it would be great to have a software program or portable device that will allow me to listen to the audio of a book from Learning Ally with the text from bookshare.

The ability to digitally/electronically sign our proof of disability form.
This suggestion came from an AT trainer. Folks with print disabilities can't access our print form and therefore can't sign up their students/clients independently.

When deciding whether or not to scan a book volunteers should be able to key in the title, author name and do One search to pull up info on whether it is in the collection, on the books being scanned list, on the checkout list, in process, with one of our outsourcers, or being handled by a publishing partner. Lack of this tool is resulting in duplicated efforts.

It almost seems impossible to have a textbook added to the NIMAC from the publisher. They don't seem to know what NIMAC or Bookshare is!

Ability to set individual account preferences to filter out the children's books on the New Books page

Can you add the ability where we can upload PDF files of all of the scan books and bookshare would put them in the corect fromats since it is hard to do it with Math texbooks and the best way is to do it by PDF.

When doing a book title search, I will get matches that do not contain any of the search terms I entered. This makes finding a book much harder.
