Alyssa, well about everywhere. You should be able to find all the places
at
the link below. But Barnes & Noble, Amazon, audible.com... But the
problem
I have been hearing is that you don't know if it is one of the accessible
ones until you purchase it and download it so you take a chance.
http://www.microsoft.com/reader/us/shop.asp
But here is a link someone posted of free material, but I haven't checked
it
out yet.
I have found lots of free stuff at:

Hi Debbie and all.
If I download Microsoft Reader, where might I find the books that one can
have read to them by this application?
