There's always webscriptions. Awesome place. They are Baen's site
and they are free for disabled readers. It's weird though. You read
a book on their site and, I kid you not, you wind up buying it in
paperback or hardcover. I bought a few after reading them online. I
use open book or the reading edge to read printed books. I want to
get a knfb reader on my cell phone one day so I can enjoy the
sensation of curling up with a mainstream paperback in bed. Something
of a dream of mine. A big clunky braille book just isn't as, well,
cuddly. Sorry for off topic. I'll be good now.
Bye,
Alex
