RNIB's Peter Atkin explains ebooks

Last month as part of Love Libraries Week RNIB National Library Service hosted introductory sessions to ebook readers. Peter Atkin, from RNIB's Media & Culture Department, demonstrated four ebook players - the Sony, Amazon Kindle, Kobo and iPad and gave participants the opportunity to play with them. This was the first time that many of the attendees had had the chance to get their hands on these machines and see which one would suit them best.


Please note: The Amazon Kindle mentioned in the podcast isn't fully accessible, in particular Voice Guide does not work on the Kindle Store, so you must use a computer to buy books and have them delivered to your Kindle Keyboard.
