Bookshare.org


Bookshare.org gives print disabled people in the United States legal access to over 32,300 books and 150 periodicals that are converted to Braille, large print or text to speech audio files.

Individual Subscriptions

Individual Subscriptions enable "all-you-can-read"* access to books in easy-to-use digital formats for a full year. Subscriptions cost 50 dollars plus a 25 dollar sign-up fee the first year.

Books and periodicals from Bookshare.org contain the full text of the publication (not pre-recorded audio) that can be read with the adaptive technology of the reader's choice. A talking software application is included with membership, providing members with one option for reading the books. The publications are also available in contracted digital Braille.

Starting an Individual Subscription

Starting a Bookshare.org subscription takes three simple steps:

  1. Register

  2. Provide proof of disability

  3. Submit Payment

    $25 sign up fee, $50 for the annual subscription
