For the first time, people with visual impairments can have access to books
on the go. E-books are a convenient way to keep your favorite books
with you at all times. If you travel a lot, or are simply cramped
for space where you live or work, you will enjoy having hours of reading
with you wherever you go.
There are two ways to read books and articles found in electronic format.
You can read them on-line, with large private screen readers and a paperless
braille display or you can download them to read off line either in hard
copy braille or by loading them in to devices such as braille notetakers.
You can download individual parts of a book, an individual book, or an entire
collection to your laptop computer, ebook machine, Road Runner, or portable
notetaker (i.e. Braille 'n Speak). You may also find greater access
to electronic newspapers and your favorite magazine. The world is
waiting for you, just a keystroke away.
