We are working with publishers, libraries, institutions and personal buyers to help people with vision impairments and reading disabilities gain access to the full range of materials published in English. We have a new technology that makes creating and publishing these editions much less expensive than in the past, so that our editions are not much more expensive than the trade editions.
