[nabs-l] accessible books

[Ryan Silveira]

Hi Anna,

I would say that the best format to use would be a word document.  You could try PDF, but they’re not always accessible.  The only problem might come with your chemistry book because of the equations and diagrams that will be in there, but you could give it a shot.  As for Spanish, if you can get a word file (.doc or .docx) or a text file (.txt), you should have no problem at all.  Hope this helps.
