[NFBMT] Kindle

[BRUCE BRESLAUER]

Thanks, Dan.  The two books I want I can find on Amazon, but not on Bard or
Bookshare.

Joy,

Ther Kindle app and the Kindle books are fairly accessible for iOS, as George
described. I've read a fair number of books on Kindle over the years, but it
is definitely best for a novel or any title that is pretty much straight
text. And there are a number of otherwise difficult to find titles. For
example, when my friend published a history of horse racing in Montana and I
wanted to support her effort, I was able to buy the book in Kindle format and
read it. Because it's a small Montana publisher, it isn't likely to get into
the Bookshare collection unless I buy and scan it myself. The Montana Talking
Book Library is producing it, I think, but like I said, I wanted to support
my author friend. (Actually, not that I think of it, I think they invited her
to narrate the audio book for MTBL.)

Kindle works, though like George suggests, I pay for a subscription to
Bookshare and read those books with Voice Dream Reader on my phone.

HTH
