Hey, do you get your books in audio version, online, in braille version, or in large print? Do you pay for it or does your college provide it for you free with no charges? Well, just wondering because they're too expensive and then at the end of the semester, they have this buy back event where they buy books less then how muchy you bought them for instance, if you bought a $ 100 book, they will buy it for around $ 20 or $ 30.
RFB&D. All my books are audio, or most of them aat least... You pay a $100 membership, and then you get all your books free.
hello there I get them from rfbd to but now every year pay 35 but some times can get them that so I have to bye the print book and have my read read them to me.
Most of my books r on CD from R F B and D. Disability Services here pays for my membership. When the assistant director, which deals with the publishers, cannot get a book from R F B and d, the assistant director has to get permission from the publishers to get the books in in e-text. When permission is granted, if it is, then the publisher sends the book via email to the assistant dire ctor, who in turn sends the emails to the student, who can then download the attachments to either Microsoft Word or Adobe Reader, depending on what the attachment is.
Most of my books , (well, all of them, after discovering that I can't read attachments for some odd reason), will be on CD from the RFB&D, now that I have the player that is needed to use them. I've read the syllabis for my Composition class, and it seems like we have to do our daily writing from stories that are hundreds of pages apart in the book, so I'm just glad I won't have to practically break my back to get big books home in order to read one or two stories at a time. Most of my effort will be going toward getting those research papers written and completed on time.
I'm not in college but I guess I could say this:
I get my stuff from rfb&d. I have a VictorWave at home and an ClassicX+ for school use.
Except for my math and science books, everything else's on RFb&d
I get my books from rfbd. I don't have a membership so I use the college's. The college orders my books so
in the UK we don't have rfb&d (at least, I don't think) I get them electronically or else have a top guy who sits all day scanning them in to kurswile from the library so its cheep!

same for me I usually get mine from RFBD. The college gets my books on cd and I sign them out. I also get the book in regular print and use my cctv. The regular print books are 77 dollars this semester
Hi all,
When I was at Nottingham Trent University doing my Accounting and Finance degree, I had some chapters scanned in, tutors contacted publishers to obtain electronic versions of some books, I found some resources online and for the rest I used a magnifier.
Now that I'm with the Open University doing a Psychology degree, I'm downloading most of what I need from their website. I also get the print copies and other versions on read-out CD-ROMs, which have software you install that reads the books out to you. I also use my video magnifier on other texts.
Bye for now.

Hi, I usually got most of my textbooks from RFBD. I didn't have to pay a membership fee since my school is a member. With special software, my computer read the books usually with no problems. If I couldn't get a book, I'd buy the print version and have it put into EText. Some books like math books and Spanish, I had in braille. I still like reading braille, but I found the portability of CD's very nice. Make sure to get your books well in advance of the beginning of the semester if possible. There's nothing like playing catchup cause your books have arrived late.
okay, sense all of you guys get your books from
RF&D do anyone y'all know how you could gget the Victor reader to read word for word? Do you know anyway other format where I could get my text books?
Yay! I've got an RFBD lifetime membership. lol My vision teacher signed me up when they were giving out free accounts and I am forever greatful towards her. I was like really really young then. I don't use it because I'm not in college but I let my man use my free account. The school's got an account as well but there are like 3 blind ppl at the school or something and some books weren't always returned so the library won't let the school borrow a lot.
for the victor reader do any of y'all know how it could read for word for word?
