[nabs-l] Book help for college

[Karl Martin Adam]

Sighted students have to buy the books, so it's really not 
unreasonable for you to need to buy them as well.  Though as a 
blind person you do have access to books on Bookshare, and if you 
know what your books are going to be several months in advance, 
you can request Bookshare to produce them for you.  Some books 
are also available as e-books through IBooks, GoogleBooks, etc., 
which are at least partially accessible.  The only problem with 
e-books, and many bookshare books that were provided by 
publishers, is that they often are not paginated, which makes 
them difficult to cite.

Dear all,
What do you do for school books? My university converts them for 
me in to a word document but in order for them to be converted 
the physical book has to be rented or bought. My question since 
physical books are inaccessible how can I save money and get the 
access I need?
