[nabs-l] E Readers

[Chris Nusbaum]

eReaders are devices which allow people to read books and other material
electronically. Some examples include iBooks for iOS, the Kindle, the Nook,
and (in our case) the Victor Stream.

 Hi,
 Yes, to some extent.  Some ereaders are also tablets and are accessible.
For

 instance you can use an ipad or ipot touch as an ereader; I do not have
one,

 but I know its accessible.  You can read I books with voice over.  Also,
the  Kindle fire HD has just come out with the android screen reader which I
believe is called talk back.

 Several ereaders are not accessible yet; these include the sony reader and
nook.  Also, sometimes the ebook publishers will make it in a format you
cannot read, even if your device is accessible.  For instance, I do not
think

 adobe digital editions is accessible yet.

 Hi,
 Are E Readers accessible? I am not going to this school, but one school
said

 they had Ereaders that I could use if I attended the school.  I am just
curious.
