Hi Debbie, Yeah, I ran into the same deal with Books24X7. I subscribed before learning that one of my local libraries might be able to get it for me. I still need to check into that possibility. As far as Bookshare is concerned, perform a browse by category. Select the "computers and Internet" category. There you will find the currently available O'Reilly books, and a few others contributed by volunteers. I consider Bookshare membership to be almost a requirement for any blind person who has a computer, an Internet connection and is serious about being able to read anything! :-) Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications!
