[humanser] Buy it; Don't Steal It! Copyright Infringement

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Michael,

I informed APA that I needed an Accessible format copy of there DSM.  
They directed me to purchase DSMV eBook which is accessible through 
adobe Digitable Editions.  I had preferred the Web-Based version of the 
DSMIVtr that I had where I could jump by links using JAWS commands but 
they no longer had that.  The had to install adobe digital editions and 
create an account.  But the download of the DSMV was easy and with out 
delay.  You are allowed up to 5 download of the version onto whatever 
mobile devices you choose but you must specify that at the outset of 
your selection.  I do not know the time frame of the downloads.  I am a 
novice on downloading and only did it only my PC and would love to have 
it on my smartphone and Braille Sense U2 but do not know how to navigate 
it, since I lost the "download" thinking that it had not gone through 
and so tried downloading again.  Then, I realized I was looking in the 
wrong place for it to appear.
