Hi, Jim.
I'm sorry, I ought to have been more specific. What type of PC do you
have (Mac, Windows, or Linux?). What screen reader do you use if you
use Windows or Linux? Do you use a braille display? Finally, are you
able to determine whether the books you want are available for
download to reader or can only be read online through Google's reader?
