If you don't want to pay for it, and you feel so strongly that it should be free, why not go out there and do all of the work yourself for free and publish your own independent guide that is better for no charge? $35 is quite affordable, when you consider a comprehensive tutorial on, say, JAWS for Windows with Microsoft Word from blindtraining.net will cost you more than twice that amount. If you feel it's not worth the money, then use the free resources available and do what the rest of us have had to do.... figure it out. If the resources available aren't enough, then you will need to pay, just like sighted people have to pay for books about how to do certain things with Windows/Mac, how to program, etc. I'll bet if there was enough interest in a paid audio guide, it would be something people would be willing to spend the large amount of time to produce. I can tell you that developing a resource such as something like this takes a lot of time and effort. You don't just sit down and magically write a book in an hour or record a 40 minute podcast in 40 minutes. While I've never charged for the stuff I have produced, this is also why I only spend so much time on it and why it's not perfectly done.
