Hi mairéad,

You could also try Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic  

www.rfbd.org

Who are a  library in the US specialising in providing  text books in
accessible formats.  You will need to pay to be a member, but this is
straightforward enough  as long as you can get proof of visual impairment
from a doctor etc.

Also, RNIB in the uk usually have a range of third level text books  and you
could try them as well.

Hi All
I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me if there are any websites that
I could download or read text books for college.  I am useing jaws 8 at the
moment but will be upgrading to 11 soon. I would also appreciate it if
someone could let me know if E bury works with jaws as I would be able to
access college books in the library through this system.

Thanks in advance
