[stylist] electronic books

[Julie J.]

I don't think you can sign up for Audible or purchase books from the ap. 
I'm pretty sure you have to do that from the internet and then you can 
listen to your already purchased books from the ap.

I've used Audible for a very long time, 8 to 10 years now.  I haven't found 
either the web site or the ap to have serious accessibility issues.

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.
