Putting Bookshare.org Books On The iPad

By David H Cohen on January 29, 2011

Putting Bookshare.org Books On The iPad
This entry is part 4 of 4 in the series EBook Resources

Electronic books from Bookshare.org, especially textbooks, are invaluable for students who are blind or otherwise print impaired. The print impaired, however, can have trouble using these books on an iPad as there is little appropriate software. Here is a method for converting Bookshare books to the popular and widely supported ePub format so they can be read using Stanza or other ebook readers on the iPad as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch.

iPhone/iPod Touch: The Ultimate E-book Reader

By Paul Natsch on October 17, 2008

iPhone/iPod Touch: The Ultimate E-book Reader
This entry is part 1 of 4 in the series EBook Resources

Reading seems like a simple activity. One that is so simple that it’s probably taken for granted by most people. But if you’re somebody with severe physical limitations reading can become a chore. I’ve unexpectedly stumbled onto a device that I think is the best solution. Would you believe it’s the iPod touch?
