[nfbcs] Accessible books

[Kelly Ford]

Hi,

Some possible resources:

1. Check to see if your public library subscribes to Books 24X7.  They offer thousdands of technical books in HTML and many libraries subscribe.

2. Consider a subscription to Safari Books at http://proquestcombo.safaribooksonline.com/home.  They too offer thousands of books in HTML that you read online.

3. Bookshare has many electronic texts from O'Reilly that come directly from the publisher, that is no scanning and they are good as well.

Subject: [nfbcs] Accessible books

Hello,

I'm looking for accessible in-depth programming books to improve my level of
knowledge.  As an example of something I'm trying to avoid, I have a PDF of
an ASP.net 2.0 book which requires me to use the DigitalEditions portionh of
Adobe Reader.  I have Adobe 7 on my machine at work which reads it okay,
except most of the code snippets are read as graphics.  On my laptop at
home, I have Adobe 9, and to read the ASP.net book, it opens a separate
DigitalEditions window which is completely inaccessible.  Any suggestions on
either correcting this or any place to get 100% accessible books that are
comparable in detail and quality?

Thanks,
Ryan Stevens
