Actually, the cost is $50 per year. First year there is a $25 setup fee.
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.
