[nabs-l] Frustrated with school!

You aren't wrong. Blio has nothing but audio, but I have found it 
to be a useful source.

Blio does not have anything but audio books to my knowledge. I 
loathe audio
books, so I've never used Blio. But if I'm wrong, I would really 
like to
know!
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Wow!
I'd be better off with Blio.
Blessings, Joshua

Hello,
I was kind of confused frankly. I guess it is because A, Kindle 
is not
accessible directly from Amazon and B, the kindle reader isn't 
accessible.
But other than that it is pretty easy to get HTML Kindle books. 
You need to
download both the converter program:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14968661/Kindle%20converter.zip
and the latest accessible Kindle for PC that I believe is:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14968661/KindleForPC-installerNew.exe
There is instructions in the zip folder, first link. Please let 
me know if
you have any questions.
Oh, and note that you aren't to redistribute the HTML files once 
they are
converted from the kindle format. They are only for personal use.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

With all due respect, Brandon, did you pay attention at this 
year's
convention?
Kendall is inaccessible!
That's why the NFB is suing Amazon!
Thanks, Joshua

Hello,
Kindle should have them, but you won't get the Braille or 
descriptions for
the math book.
Have you checked NBP or NLS?
Thanks,

Obtaining textbooks in braille is a really big issue for many of 
my
students.  We should bring this to the NFB.  Advocacy in this 
area is
necessary.

Hi,
Do you have a victor stream or something like that?

I don't have a notetaker to download the book to, from Bookshare.
 I'd prefer Braille, because of the graphs.
 Thanks, Joshua

 Hey, go to the Learning Ally site and see if they have it.  You 
could
 also check bookshare.

 I thought that I had my Anatomy and Physiology book, and my

 I didn't!
 All I have, are my Behavioral Health, and Healthcare Delivery

 The VR people that Brailled my MedTerm book, didn't do what they 
were
 supposed to do, so I'm having to get the worksheets, (which are 
out
of
 the
 book,) E-mailed to me!
 How am I supposed to find the answers to my A and P homework, 
when I
 can't
 have an audiobook?
 The people at Learning Ally told my DSO, that they don't have 
it!
 The DSO won't allow my work-study to look up the answers for me, 
from
the
 Print book, so my mom has to do it.
 There's a problem!
 She can't see well enough to do it, due to the small print!
 I'm tired of this discrimination!
 Please help!
 Thanks, Joshua
