Have you ever gotten the Acrobat search feature to work? If so, how, with v.6 and above?

You might want to check with your local library. For example the King County Library here in Seattle has about 2000 ebooks in PDF format that work with screen readers. I have to read the books within the acrobat program but have no trouble using the screen reader's braille translation facilities to read the books.

Hello all.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place I can purchase e-books that are accessible. I remember someone saying in the past that many of the e-books found in .pdf format were not accessible. I think, if my memory serves me well, that the discussion mentioned amazon.com as a website in which the e-books were not accessible. Is there any place I can get accessible ones? My intention is to purchase an e-book and then translate it into .brf and read it with my braille lite. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
