eBooks and Audiobooks

eBooks and Audiobooks
Project Gutenberg has proved useful in allowing downloads of many of the classics, eg Jane Austen, which can be used with voice recognition software to be read aloud for dyslexic senior Secondary/tertiary students.I'm still trying to find an easy way to scan more 'modern'/'popular' simple texts, and senior course textbooks, to allow access to Reader/voice recognition software for senior students with reading difficulties.Audio books are great for tired eyes and developing/using listening skills and there are some good popular novels for teens. Quite popular with Life Skills classes.
