Thanks a lot Martin,

Interesting. Going through the partner looks like it might be a bit of a
faff. The UK partner is apparently Dyslexia Action, and they want you to
make an appointment and travel to a local Dyslexia Action Centre to get the
proof of Disability form certified. It's also not completely clear that
they'll provide the service for non-dyslexics. Oh well.

Cheers,

Ed

Subject: [access-uk] Proof of disability for Bookshare

Hi all,



Has anyone successfully used a BD8/CVI as proof of disability when signing
up for Bookshare?



From the website, it looks as though you need to get a bespoke proof of
disability form signed by a competent body/professional, but I was wondering
whether that was actually the case in practice.



Cheers,



Ed
