Hi Jess,
I don't remember about the registration price. I think it's $19 a month or 
something like that for their lowest level subscription. I think that you need 
to tell them that you are a screen reader user. All of the books I have read to 
this point are pretty accessible. I have had some formatting issues with the 
PDF downloads, though. And you should probably try to browse to the web site 
where the book comes from and download the example programs just to make sure 
that you get well-formatted code. That's especially important for Python, which 
depends on indentation.

I found the Programming in Objective C book online from Safari. How much does 
it cost to register with Safari books online, and is the book fully accessible?
Thanks.
Jes
