Hello fellow students,

 

Besides Bookshare, NLS BARD, RFB&D, Learning Ally, and any cooperating
Talking and book library, is there any other resource that I can use to find
free e-books I can read with JAWS? 

The reason I am asking this questions is because my English instructor has
assigned reading groups, and each group is to pick out a book to read
together. However, the book that we've chosen for my group is not to be
found anywhere in any of those sites I've mentioned above. I looked, and
pretty much exhausted my search. 

The only place I have found my book is in the iTunes store and on
Audible.com, but it costs about $20. I'm also trying to avoid the hassle of
buying the print copy of the book just to show my Disability Support office
my receipt, so they can convert it for me in e-text or Braille or Audio
format. Plus, all the print book ends up doing anyways, is sitting for
months collecting particles of dust in a shelf or suitcase.

 

So, do you know of any other sites I could browse? Other ideas I could try?
Please let me know ASAP. Otherwise, I will be an unhappy scholar.

 

Sincerely,

Humberto
