[nabs-l] IPad

Ashley, no offense, but I'm not stupid. I was wondering about the 
difference between using iBooks to read textbooks on the iPhone 
(which I have) vs. the iPad (which I don't.)

sophie,
textbooks are our academic books; they can be produced in 
alternative
formats. On the other hand, regular books are copyrighted and 
have to get
permission to reproduce them in an accessible format. This is 
only for
specialized formats like daisy books or
scanned books.  It does not apply to regular e-books sold online.

What's the difference between textbooks and regular books?

I agree. Now as it could just read textbooks, should be no need
for an iPad.

Josh, I use iBooks on my phone. I read many books that way, and
it works perfectly.

On the contrary, it can do things like read text books in
iBooks, which the iPhone cannot do. I don't know if that would
help you, but just putting it out there.

Hi Ian,

If you already have an iPhone, I see no reason why you need to
spend additional money on an iPad. An iPad performs essentially
the same functions as an iPhone, except unlike the phone, it
doesn't have a built-in app for calls. As far as I know, the only
benefit of an iPad is that it has a bigger screen, which would
not be very useful to us.

Best wishes,
Sophie

HI All,
I have an IPhone, and am thinking about getting an IPad. Is that
as accessible? Is there a tactile keyboard? Is there a way to get
a braille display? What have you thought of the IPad? Is it easy
to use and does it feel like the modern version of a note-taker?
I?™m trying to figure out whether to get one in addition to my
laptop and IPhone.
