Comments
FYI – The National Library for the Blind and VIsually impaired offers several options for free books for people with visual or disability impairments who find reading regular books, large print books or holding books too difficult. It does need an approval from a medical professional or someone who can vouch for the impairment, but the process is not difficult. There is a simple machine for books on tape and also a BARD program that allows the reader to download the book directly to a phone.
