Hi Laura,
I don't know if you'll know it since you said you don't know much
about blind devices, but is EBook accessible? If you don't, somebody
else would and please come forward! Even it's only $5 but I still
don't want to buy and find out that it's not accessible at all and I
don't want to feel bad to waste my parents' money. You know? So, any
feedback would be helpful. I got the CD Audio version provided by my
school but no page navigation but if that's what I get, I will deal
with that satisfactory. Thanks!
