---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Heather Underwood <hmunderwood@gmail.com> Subject: A Plug for Accessible Technology A big warm hello from BookBole.com - where visually impaired readers from the world-over connect and share accessible content! What we read goes such a long way in defining who we are. Unfortunately, finding reading material in accessible formats has been a massive challenge for persons with visual impairment. At Bookbole we believe that the answer has to be a collaborative community-driven solution where the community participates to overcome the barriers. Afterall, the challenge is the entire world of reading material – multiple countries, languages and subjects. As a tool in the hands of the visually-impaired Bookbole will, no doubt, come to mean different things to different communities across the world. To some, a place to share interesting books to read, to others, a place to share learning, and to nearly all, a place to make friends, share experiences and express themselves. Imagine Dan in Canada sharing computer programming notes and articles in accessible formats, or Rob in the UK sharing the poems of Byron in accessible formats, or Kaan from Turkey sharing his mantra for success with everyone on BookBole, and how millions across the world can learn and get inspired from those experiences.
From cooking tips and product reviews to personal stories and lifestyle tips, Bookbole is all about the small stuff, but on a really large scale. The possibilities of sharing and learning from each other are endless.
If you like the experience at BookBole, spread the word and help us reach out to every person with visual impairment. In just over a month Bookbole already has members from over 50 countries but this is just the beginning. Log on to www.bookbole.com that’s b o o k b o l e.com, start sharing and exploring accessible content, and in the process get connected to visually impaired readers across the world.
