Hi Tina and everyone, If anyone out there has stopped reading because of vision issues..... I just feel compelled to encourage you to get a Bookshare.org membership it is $50.00 The new Darwin Reader app is $3.95 There is this huge universe of books now available via your android phone Within 2 minutes you can search for a book you want to read, download it and be listening to it. Sorry to go on so about Bookshare.org and the new Darwin Reader but this has opened up a whole new world to me and I want to make sure everyone know about this accessibility. It totally rocks
