Subject: RE: EBOOKS AND JAWS? Another option is Blio. Both its Windows and iOS apps are fully accessible. The down side, however, is that it's library is small compared with other mainstream e-book stores like Kindle. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Coverdell via Jfw Sent: Monday, April 13, 2015 6:51 PM To: Soronel Haetir; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: EBOOKS AND JAWS? What about bookshare.org? If you provide them with proof of your disability you can have a $50.00 subscription per year and you can download up to 100 books in a Braille ready formatt or through various other outputs. Right now that's the only way I get e-books and they have most major title. Personally I like to call bookshare.org a kind of net flix for the blind because of their accessability to so many choices instantly. And you don't have to pay for each download.
