[nabs-l] Questions About Accessing Books

[justin williams]

I saw the blio at the convention two years ago.  it is accessible.  They did
a bunch of workshops on it.  From what I saw then, and mind you this was two
years ago, you could download it for free, but you had to pay for amazon
books and anything else you bought.

Subject: [nabs-l] Questions About Accessing Books

Hi All:

So, I love to read.
What is the current access we have to mainstream Ebooks?
Is the Nook for PC accessible yet or is it only the Iphone/Ipad app?
I love reading but I can't stand reading on the Iphone/Ipad. I don't mind
voiceover for short things but I hate reading with it.
I prefer to either read in braille, on the computer using Jaws, or listen to
an audiobook.
Does anyone use the Blio EReader? Is it accessible? If I were to purchase a
book on it can you read it using Jaws?
There is a book I want to read that I can't find on either Bookshare or BARD
and I looked on the Blio reader store and it is available for only $2.99.
What sources do you use to get books for pleasure reading?
At this time, are there any other sources to read Ebooks on the PC using
Jaws besides Blio and Bookshare?
I know books can be read in braille on the Iphone/Ipad using a braille
display but I currently don't have one.
Thanks,
Kerri
