Hi Derry & All, Check out: www.bookshare.org a site for people with print reading difficulties. It is a good comprehensive site with a link too, to 'getting started'. Happy reading! 

Tony

Hi All,
             I had a look a calibre.org.uk as recommended by Flor to
Ger . Book Reading is one of the joys of my life and I use 
Audion CDs from Cork City Library and they were good enough to open a
branch near me which is very helpful. Staff in the Library are very
helpful and read titles to me and recommend reading and request loan
books for me . They have not moved to MP3 books,which are used  in the
children's section and in some Dublin libraries. I would be very
interested to hear other experiences on this topic .ie what u use ,where
etc Thanks Derry

Hi Ger,
Also try out, in addition to NCBI and your local library, the Calibre Library at 

www.calibre.org.uk

-- They now also do books in mp3 on CD.  Their books - nonfiction, too -
are unabridged audio. In all of the cases I mentioned, you need to join the 

library from whom you will be borrowing.
