I would recommend taking advantage of the free book option to try it out.

Hello,
Are these accessible with screen readers as well? I'm pretty sure if it is a PDF I can get the book's contents some way, but I'd rather have the accessible PDF right off the bat.
Thanks,
Brandon Keith Biggs

Hello,
If you are visually impaired or know someone who is,
Looking for lower priced ebooks,
Or previously visited our website,
Here's some good news
We have now completed adding an additional 200 books to our library and
reduced the prices for all our books. Many of our books are now available
for $.99 and most are priced at least 50% below any other source.
I work with the Virginia M. Woolf Foundation. Our mission is to make
available publications with large type to satisfy special needs.
The books we offer are displayed in type sizes of 18, 28 or 48 point in PDF
format for reading on a tablet or computer screen. We also provide ASCII and
Kindle compatible versions. (They also look very good on a Nook or iPad.)
You can go to our website:
www.extralargeprint.org<http://www.extralargeprint.org/> to see the many
publications we have available - many are best sellers.
Although the publications open up in large print, if you wish, the type can
be reduced to make them more comfortable to read. You can copy and print
them without restriction. When printed they retain the large print size.
More good news: we continue to offer a fee book to introduce our service.
You can select any one of the books we offer- old favorites or best-sellers,
and receive the book at no cost or obligation.
Choose a book from our library and reply to this message with your choice.
We will promptly email the book to you.
Go to our website and select the "Library" button. That will bring up a
selection menu. You can then search for a book by title or genre or any word
in the book description including an author's name. When you have decided
which book you would like, use the arrow on the top left of the screen to
return to the main menu.
Once back on the main menu, select the "Special Gift" button at the top of
the screen. This will bring up a page describing the free book offer. There
is a link, (in blue) titled
Woolf-Foundation at ca.rr.com<mailto:Woolf-Foundation at ca.rr.com>. If you click
on this link it will start your email system. Type the name of the book
you'd like and send the message. When we get it we will send you the book by
email.
Thank you for reading this message and considering our offer.. Be assured
that we will not sell or rent your address if you respond. If you don't want
to receive any future mailings from us just reply to this message and say:
"Take me off your list."
If you have any questions, please call or write:
Woolf-Foundation at ca.rr.com<mailto:Woolf-Foundation at ca.rr.com>
