Re: [JAWS-Users] free eBooks
My method for returning to where I left off is to add qqq to the text and save. Then when I open the file I search for qqq and voila! I chose qqq because it isn't a string of characters you would normally find in any text.

Re: [JAWS-Users] free ebooks
You could always try the Overdrive library service. I'm sure if you set the search parameters starting at the least expensive with an Amazon Kindle book search, you'll also get a bunch of free titles. To keep it on Jaws topic, my understanding is that the Overdrive desktop application is Jaws accessible. Same with the Kindle for PC. Whether actually reading an ebook would be an enjoyable experience...that will be a matter of opinion.
