Hi Wheels,
Through the National Library Services for the Blind, each State has a Talking
Book Program that will supply a cassette player for free to play the tapes on.
Here in Texas their Program also includes the option of downloading directly
from the Internet and play then on the computer. I'm not sure how many States
have this option. http://www.loc.gov/nls/

area, check at your local library for the books on tape program or alternative
reading programs.

I am having a dilemma. I was an avid book reader before I became a
quadriplegic due to Transverse Myelitis. Now I am in a dilemma as to how do I
manage to read a book. I have a book stand, but it is virtually impossible for
me to turn the pages. I have looked on the Internet for page turners, but I
haven't found any that are suitable for my need. This is really driving me
crazy, especially since there are so many things I need to read. I would like
to know how anyone else manage to read a book. For novels, I get books on
tape, if they're available, but some things I need to read, do not come on a
tape. I would appreciate any suggestions.
