[nabs-l] Textbook Questions

[Greg]

Hello Mark,
Try www.coursesmart .com  I have been looking into them.  Their textbooks 
are all in an electronic format.  From what I read on an accessibility link 
on the site, they are committed to accessibility.  You can either get the 
books in an online format or downloadable format that you read with their 
reader.  You get the books for 180 days and you can copy and paste what you 
need.  I have not purchased a book yet, but I thought I would mention it. 
Their prices seem pretty reasonable.
Hope this helps,
Greg W.
