emaildesk: thanks for the help

Posted on March 14, 2008 by | Posted in correspondence, News | Comments: 4 Comments on emaildesk: thanks for the help

From Lee O.:

First, I want to thank you for offering something like this. Second, I want to tell my story and how your site has affected me personally. I’m currently taking a class that has some pretty intense readings. With a full load of university classes, I don’t often have the time I need to invest toward this one class that has all these required readings. I found your site while looking for Bram Stoker’s Dracula in audio book form. Looking around on amazon and such, I found that I could easily get the abridged version, and not only that, but that it would cost me a pretty penny to not only purchase, but to have it sent so quickly.

I am writing to say thank you. Thank you for what you’ve offered. I spend the majority of my days in a car, commuting to work and school, and you have allowed me to be able to get a significant amount of “reading” done without having to lose so much of my day. Because of your site, I might actually get what I need done before test time. For that, I will be grateful. And because of your site, I’ve also been looking into seeing what I could do to volunteer to read some works, just to be able to give to someone else, what your volunteers have given me.

So thank you. Greatly.
