Good organization and navigation of content is the key to both writing more 
readable books and to being able to read them easier.

While print books solved this centuries ago, e-books have just begun to be 
marked up to make them as easy to read and to understand. The kindle and 
the nook let readers jump to chapters and sections and pages quickly. The 
same book mastery is available to people with so-called print disabilities 
using DASI (Digital Accessible Information System.

While writing DAISY books had been difficult, daunting and expensive, this 
is changing. You can obtain a free DAISY software player, AMIS, and you can 
also obtain free the Word-to-DAISY Add-in making creating a DAISY book 
something anyone can do.
EASI has 2 free Webinars this month that will demonstrate both reading and 
writing DAISY documents:

Free EASI Webinar: AMIS: the Free, Open Source Software DAISY Player

This Webinar is tied closely to the following Webinar which deals with the 
free software add-in for Word to let anyone create DAISY books.
