Do a key word search at Open Library for "accessible book." Be sure to enclose the phrase in quotation marks to avoid picking up books that just happen to have those words in the catalog entry seperately. The results will be in the hundreds of thousands. It will include nearly everything Gutenberg has plus protected Daisy books that are still in copyright. Click the title of any of the results you are interested in and on the catalog page you will find a linkk to Daisy somewhere there. Click that and you will be on a page that tells you about Daisy and there will also be a link for downloading the book. Open Library is primarily a catalog and lists nearly twenty-five million books if you count the various editions. The ones that can be downloaded number in the hundreds of thousands though and there are some very obscure ones.

What is openlibrary? Does it just list books or does it have books that you can download? If so, I have not found a way to do so although I think I found somewhere that they had availability for people with disability could get donwloloaded versions of over a million books and not just ones out of copyright date. Is this true or not, and if so how does it work as I saw only classics in a quick browse. Any info on this is appreciated, but you may please write privately so as not to clutter list. Thank you. I am always looking for new sources of material because even though Bookshare has a wonderful selection, I like to find more obscure tings sometimes.
