There obviously must be a way because Bookshare knows how many books we have downloaded each month and also has the list of most popular books in terms of how often they are downloaded. Jill----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

Jim, I mean once the book is actually in the collection.

Now, however, I feel time is too short and there are too many books I want to read, so if I'm not enjoying it, I stop and go on to something else. That's my own reading, of course--not validating. When I validate I keep going, unless it's too technical and long and boring to me, and then I just do an eye-scan of each page and a spell-check and put my name and email address in the long synopsis so that if anything further needs to be done I can be contacted. There have only been two books that I've done that with. Is there a way that one can find out how many times a particular book has been downloaded, if at all?
