Bookshared offers free accounts. I'm trying to get one and when I get to the application form its asking for a payment. I want to know anyone have a bookshared account whats the direct link for a free account are all the free account for schools. I contact bookshared and never got a respond.
If you are a student, Bookshare accounts are free. I have also contacted them before, and received no reply, so I know how you feel about that one.
Oh that is sad, cause I had someone actually call me from there. I have sent an e-mail asking him if I may provide his name or someone to help you all out,cause we can't post private information here. hope this helps and I will put in your pm box.
If you are not a student enrolled in in either grade, secondary, or some sort of university courses, the membership is not free. Sorry to disappoint.
I have heard of that, how does it work? Is it like rfb and d? I really didn't look into it when i realized you had to pay, I didn't know students get free accounts! Wow that is something to look into!
Booshare allows you to download book for free unlimited by getting an account.
Hi, i have not herd back from the person I e-mailed. I do know if your in school, you can get a free account. Keep pestering them. They let you download 100 books a month, and you can get more, you just have to tell them. 100 books is a lot!
Bookshare.org allows anyone who is blind, visually impaired, or possessing any disability which impairs them from reading print to download books from their web site. if you cannot provide proof of being a student, the membership is $50 a year. However, you can become a volunteer. The more you help out with the site, the less the cost of renewal is. They have many of the books I wanted, but you can search to see whether the books you want are on their web site before you get an account. They have many novels which you might need for school. I know I got a few that I needed from there. They've got all the Harry Potter books, all of the Ann Rice vampire chronicle books, all of the Lord of the Rings books, the Eragon books, some goosebumps and fear street, all the New York Times best seller books that appear on their lists every month, and even national newspapers like the Wallstreet Journal, The Washington Post, and the New York Times. You should seriously give them a try if you haven't already.
The school accounts have limitations on them because you have to have the teacher download books and certain ones they might let me download
I've been a member of bookshare for three years now and love it.
to post 9: That's because you are looking at the wrong account type Institutional access is specifically for access at school, but you would sign up for a regular account and one of the options you can select when chosing payment method is to apply for the free usage. They will ask for the school you attend and what city it is in, and then after verifying this information, will grant you access to the bookshare collection. HTH
With school accounts, the school either get a preset number of books to download or sets up individual accounts for its students. Although some schools might not let you download books with adult content in them.
On the site do I print the School application or the individual form and write on free account?
I'd go the individual route, but know that if you are 18, downloads that contain adult content will be blocked anyway. If you are registered as a patron of NLS services, you can even have your print disability verified through them. Click on the individual account, and it walks you through the entire process.
Ok, so if I did get a free account certain things might be block sense I'm under age of 18 so would it be best if I just bought it myself so I can get adult books. I'm in 9th and some of our books we read have some cursing in it and so on bookshared I wonder if they will give me a full access or limit with free accounts. I know for school accounts it'll be limit for the fact its a school account and they want let students read certain books during school.
Here is the e-mail I was sent to sign up.
membership@bookshare.org
Personally if you desire to get any book that you want and can afford it get your own account.. and for that don't know, if your a hadley student you can get a free account as well. heck, I am re- signing back up.
Okay, I 'll contact them.
