> Hello all,
> I was pleasantly surprised to find that e books purchased through the
> google books site are accessible with a screen reader. This was the only
> place I was able to find an accessible copy of the book my small group is
> reading, since it was published in April and is perhaps an obscure book on
> an obscure topic.
>
> To get materials this way, go to the google books site: books.google.com
> Enter the title/author/whatever search you want and it will pull up a list
> of results. Click on the title of the book and it will take you to an
> overview page for that book. This page contains info about the book, like
> publisher, number of pages, reviews, and a section where you can preview
> the text of some pages. As far as I can tell, this preview section is not
> accessible. However, if you click the "Add to my library" link and then
> pay for the book, you will be able to read it. You have the option of
> downloading it onto your computer and using any epub reader, like Adobe
> Digital Editions which has a version optimized for Jaws. Or you can just
> read the book from the google books website, which I prefer. If you have
> an iPod/iphone/ipad you can also download your library onto your device
> and read your books from there. I thought this was a great option for
> getting access to new materials in a timely manner.
>
> Let me know if you guys have more questions about this. I have only
> purchased the one book so far, but I have loved how well it has worked.
