eBooks can be read using an eBook reader (like the Kindle) or using an eBook app on computers, mobile phones, tablets (like iBooks on the iPad). You can read eBooks in large print, audio or in braille.
Hundreds of thousands of existing books have been published as eBooks and more are being added all the time. New books are published as eBooks at the same time as standard print. This means you can get books at the same time and price as sighted readers.
