[nabs-l] FW: Accessible, inexpensive books

Wed Apr 24 21:41:06 UTC 2013

Helga,

After reading the article, it seems to me as though this foundation only
distributes books in large print. If you would like a service which is like
the service provided by the Wolf foundation but distributes electronic
Braille books, you might try bookshare.org.

HTH,

Chris

Hi Dezman, this is Helga. What's up? I just would like to ask you, cand this
books be printed in Braille format? I was just curious since Braille is my
prefer way in reading books. I actually like listen to the books in audio
format, and reading at the same time in Braille. Thanks I just would like to
know. God bless! :)
