Anyone thought of using www.bookshare.org or www.rfbd.org Dave Composed on a Dell Latitude 630 in the general vicinity of my Audio Recording and Mixing Studios, San Francisco Bay Area. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 20:11 Subject: Re: where to find accessible textbooks for college in networking Hi Brandon, Looking for textbooks in an available format for me to read is nothing new. Many times publishers will send a textbook as a Word document or PDF file if you or the instructor contacts them. That is one strategy I have been using lately. I am sure you are aware of RFB and D. They have a large audio textbook library. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect solution but they will often have the book you are looking for. Other than that it is back to the wonderful process of scanning page after page or paying someone else to do it.

If you want to buy the book then contact them directly and ask to buy an accessible format of the book. I don't believe there are any accessible E-Text books and the Kindle is inaccessible, so you'll either have to weasel out a PDF, .doc, html or rtf version of the book, or have the publisher join a book-sharing sight like Bookshare.org then get the book off of there. please if anyone else has another way can you share? This is a really ineffective way of getting books and I don't have time to scan my own...
