Hi Amanda,

Using virtualization software is definitely doable.  As for the books... 
I'm wondering if there is another edition or another version of the book 
that might be available?  You could write to Bookshare and request the 
book... because it is a textbook they would make that a priority.  You 
could contact the publisher and see if they can get you an electronic 
copy... or have your disability services office do that.  And you could 
consider using other computer security books for the content, and hire a 
reader for the parts that you need to do in the actual book.  I don't 
like the last option, but...
