Kendra,

My husband and I are both blind, and we have not had problems in terms of
accessibility with Audible. What specifically have you encountered?

Hi all! 
I mostly get my books from IBooks. I sometimes get them through BARD but not
as much as I use to. I also get the occasional book from NLS at the local
state library but that's only when I want it in braille. I don't care for
audible because the website to sign up isn't very accessible to iPhone
users.  Neither is the Kindle app.
