My version of e-book? Just take whatever file format given and convert it to
a plain text file, and put it on my braille display device. Easy, fast and
the files take up little space. I'm seeing a lot more formats around
nowadays and I have no idea about some of them. You can get converters for
.lit files and make them into word documents, plain text or probably html if
you want. PDF files and adobe in general I want little to do with so I'm
actually looking for a standalone converter that will render the files as
plaintext without me even having to open Adobe reader.

Unfortunately, there is no one definition for e-books. It depends on the
provider of the book. For example, Overdrive's e-books are in some type
of
PDF that is not accessible. I have not had time to play with them to
figure
out if you can convert the file into something that can be read by JAWS or
other A.T. I use the Overdrive's e-audio books that can be in MP3 or the
Apple iProduct format.
I would love to hear from others on the list on this topic.

I've noticed a lot of books are now available in EBook format What kind of
format is that?
Are they readable with a screen reader like JAWS?
Blessings,
Tom
