Veterans who qualify, but are not enrolled in school will have access to a 30 day free trial. After the trial veterans continue using Bookshare for a $50 yearly membership fee. Especially on Veterans Day it is great that veterans who are disabled will be able to access over 215,000 accessible books from the Bookshare library. Bookshare's press release says,</div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Accessible books can break down reading barriers and open a new lifeline to reading to go back to school, learn a new vocation or read for pleasure."</span></span></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A membership provides an individual with electronic books that can be read with <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/10/have-you-ever-wondered-how-text-to.html">text-to-speech</a> or used with a braille device. This makes reading possible for people who are blind, low vision, physically disabled, or dyslexic.
