When I checked on behalf of Braille books, I was told they are not up to date. 
We are wondering if you could get anything threw book share?

As a follow up to that question, I am very upset to learn that most of site I'd need to use is not at all accessible. it doesn't respond to screen reader commands and you can't navigate the thing because it's all flash and graphics. of course the sign up page reads beautifully. i brought this problem to our local Weight Watchers people and asked if I could have the material in another format like braille, but they will not give me a straight answer for this and the only thing they've given me is a pocket guide.
