But as stated, if you contribute by submitting books that you scan, correct errors and do what they call Publish to submit books already uploaded and/or do what is known as Basic Publish whereby you clean-up their database to reflect appropriate information about the entried therein, you earn fifty cents per title. To download and correct a book, you earn $2.50. Do ten of those per year, you earn half of your annual membership. So, there are ways that a person with limited income resources can benefit and still use the service. Amanda Lee
