Over 1 million digital books now available free to the print-disabled - Internet Archive

Over 1 million digital books now available free to the print-disabled - Internet ArchiveMore than doubling the number of books available to print disabled people of all ages, the Internet Archive has launched a new service that brings free access to more than 1 million books - from classic 19th century fiction and current novels to technical guides and research materials - now available in the specially designed format to support those who are blind, dyslexic or are otherwise visually impaired. "Every person deserves the opportunity to enhance their lives through access to the books that teach, entertain and inspire," said Brewster Kahle, founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive. "Bringing access to huge libraries of books to the blind and print disabled is truly one of benefits of the digital revolution."
