It doesn't compare to Bookshare in terms of its size and variety, but you will most likely get fewer errors in the material you do download. However, I would rather read books I actually want to read, which is why I prefer Bookshare.

Interesting library. have a couple of comments, though. First, they do not have the largest electronic braille library in the world. I think probably bookshare does by now. Second, all the books in the index by title are organized by their first names, which is not usual practice, so if you're looking for Kipling, then you need to know the man's first name is Rudyard, and he's listed under R not K. Grimm's Fairy Tales are listed under T for The Brothers Grimm. Finally, somebody needed to run a spell checker on the page. Its designer is unsure about how to spell 'collection'. He/she can't seem to make up his/her mind about it. Sometimes it's with one L and sometimes it's with two. Other than that, I think it's a good library. I downloaded a couple as I went by, stuck them in the BN for future reading. I noticed some of my friends and acquaintances had contributed books to it. That's great! Definitely a good place to go for electronic Braille books, just so you know that you need to be well acquainted with authors so that you can find them by first name. Ann P. -- Ann K.
