No. I mean that you install the pc equivalent software and these books are
readable. There's one other step which is that you need a very simple set file
to draw a window and read what's in that window at the press of page-up or
page-down. With Window-Eyes, that's a couple minutes work. I've already done
it and I'm very unfamiliar with set files. With JFW, it should be equally easy.
There may be talking palm pilots which would work, but I'm not familiar with
them.
Alternatively, many books on PDB are also available as PDF. I have no idea
whether these would be readable.

You mean I buy a palm pilot and then these books talk to me? How much are
palm pilots? What else can I do with it and how would I do it with no
vision at all? Thanks for info.
