"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

information on our foundation and how it helps blind and visually
impaired children in MD say "I can!"

I also thought that they made the Kindell accessible.

 Miranda, I can sure identify with the struggle to find books in 
accessible
 format.  Learning ally was my first choice; but as you point 
out, not
 everything is there.
 I assume course smart is a ebook solution.  I'm not sure the 
answer to the
 question, but many ebook solutions are images of a book.  If 
this is an
 image, its not accessible.
 You could also just buy the book from the bookstore and look for 
a reader.  I
 always used a reader for something in school.  They can skim and 
look up info
 faster than I can by listening or searching through a scanned 
copy.
 I hope you asked your college to get them from the publisher.  
If you have a
 receit for your books, your disability student office, DSO, will 
often
 provide them in electronic format from the publisher.

 You're having problems getting texts from them as well?
 I wonder if you can get them as EBooks, on the Blio.
