One of the fastest growing online resources for electronic books for people
with print disabilities is Bookshare It has been providing electronic books
online for several years, and its collection of books and the quality of
its texts has constantly been improving. Recently, armed with a large
grant, it has launched a new initiative making several changes. The
quantity and quality of books has taken a giant leap forward. Some of the
funds has been sent on designing a much richer and more useful Web interface.
This work has been made possible as the result of a grant Bookshare
received recently. The First link below will take you to the recording of
Jim Fruchterman from Bookshare sharing the impact the grant is
