Read How You Want

An Australian firm is offering a new way for people with low vision to get books.  Read How You Want provides books (for a price) in seven different font sizes, ranging from 11 point to 24 point bold type, as well as Grade 2 Braille and Daisy formats.  They sell to individuals as well as libraries.  Their website is formatted to allow the choice of regular print or large print, and they have a Braille and Daisy site.  Their book selection is heavily weighted toward non-fiction and classic fiction titles, although they have recently signed contracts with a number of current fiction publishers.  As a registered user, it is possible to request a book through RHYW in whatever format needed even if the publisher hasn’t signed a contract with RHYW.
