I don't think that's possible since the modern books which have ebook
editions are all of the secure variety. You could use the ebook software
and have a braille display attached to the computer. Palm or Ereader books
should be accessible in that way. They're from
www.ereader.com
and
www.fictionwise.com
used to have them. Fictionwise has also come out with their own format and
it has gotten some favorable comments.
Hope this helps.

Hello all.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place I can purchase e-books
that are accessible. I remember someone saying in the past that many of the
e-books found in .pdf format were not accessible. I think, if my memory
serves me well, that the discussion mentioned amazon.com as a website in
which the e-books were not accessible. Is there any place I can get
accessible ones? My intention is to purchase an e-book and then translate
it into .brf and read it with my braille lite. Can anyone help? Thanks in
advance.
Lisa
