The Digital Reader

ReadHowYouWant has announced a partnership with the Independent Publishing Group to release ebooks for visually impaired readers. From the press release:

Digital publishing innovator ReadHowYouWant (www.readhowyouwant.com) has begun partnering with Independent Publishers Group (www.ipgbook.com) and IPG Digital—IPG’s digital service offering—to create accessible formats of the group’s bestselling titles. The Sydney start-up’s award-winning conversion technology will repurpose the books into high-quality alternative formats, including 16 to 24 point EasyRead® large print, braille, e-books, synthesized audio MP3, and DAISY—a talking book format that produces audio along with the written text. The new editions will be available at www.readhowyouwant.com on or near the time of publication and should be a welcome response to the growing demand from the disability community for accessible format books.All of Independent Publishers Group client publishers will be given the opportunity to publish in these additional formats with ReadHowYouWant.
