> This resource is of interest for students who need accessible books that
> they can carry with them in a digital format for reading on a computer or
> PDA. While this sounds ideal for blind or visually impaired students, it
> would really work for any student enrolled in many basic text classes.
>
> Here's a listing of more than twenty sources for public domain e-Books.

>
> Most of the listed sites are free, but even those that charge seem
> reasonably affordable. And, because the books listed are in the public
> domain, that tells you there aren't going to be any of the latest
> best-sellers among them. However, that doesn't mean a student couldn't get
> some required reading material, such as Shakespeare or some other classic
> work, in an accessible format at one of these sites.
