I love Bookshare for so many reasons I can't begin to number them. If they doubled the annual subscription, I'd still pay it. I'm amazed you haven’t been using it already! ,you’ll absolutely love it! You can read using a voice or using a braille display, and the braille is good.

I've been a Bookshare member since it started. As mentioned, you can keep the books, or download them again at any time. They often have books provided directly by the publisher on the same day the books become available to print readers in the book stores. Revolutionary for blind o
