Those of you who are surprised at the "260" number are forgetting
something.
Sure, a whole bunch of people considered important to read HP6 on day one;
many others don't.
Secondly, even if someone viewed it essential first day reading, they had
to know that Bookshare had it on day one.
As most subscribers are cassual rather than inveterate users, they were
(and probably still are not) aware of the availability.
I believe that either Janice or Gustavo last week mentioed that BookShare
has around 3,000 active user accounts;
given that as a baseline, 260 in a little over a day represents nearly 10%
which is an amazing number to retrieve anything.
