Folks, thanks for your overwhelming response. In fact, this may prove of immense help if we can get the e-text version of books. Ripakshi, rightly said that Since we don't have effective disability offices, task became very tough. However, as you yourself also saying that you have already tryede the same and even got a few books too, I am unable to understand why it is not possible every where. As per is coppy right laws are concern, I think they says that you can not reproduce this book in any form (printed, electronic, etc.) without the permission of author or publisher. But if we are taking permission, then? Though I am telling what I can understand, all you folks specially those who belongs to legal departments will tell more in this context. Actually, before going any further in this regards, I necessarily need to know the legal limitations. Therefore, can any one tell the provisions concerning this issue in Indian coppy right law? Vamshi sir, very validly Raised point, that one can also make zirox coppies of books and provide them on low cost if he is intended to cross the coppy right laws. Or even, we people can reproduce the e-text versions of the books which we've already scanned. In this way, one can not say that any book is safe from reproduction. As per is awareness is concern, it's our duty to educate them about the technology we use for reading and about the software and it's features. The person who has ever scanned a long book, can easyly tell How complex this task is. Therefore, this may be of great help for whole community if we can do anything in this regard. Subramani sir, what happen to that organization, isn't it working now? In fact, I was wondering why people around the world suffering from this problem? We all know that by any case, a book can not be publish without preparing a soft coppy. If matter is already available in soft coppies, why can't we get their access? I know it's an extreme complicated issue and can not be solved with eas, but probably, it might not be impossible. Just imagine, how fantastic it will be when there will not be any complexity of scanning and editing books. How great it would be when books will be readily available in e text. Yes, it sounds like a dream, but can't we turn it in reality? Regards, Prateek agarwal.
