How do you like to read yours?
Julian Barnes hit the headlines on 18 October when he won the Man Booker prize 2011. You can read his book
The Sense of an ending in braille, giant print and as a Talking Book if you are a member of the National Library Service.
This is thanks to the Booker Prize Foundation and the Man Group plc Charitable Trust, who made it possible for RNIB to produce accessible versions not only of the winner, but also of the other five books on Man Booker shortlist.
Thanks are also due to the publishers who helped RNIB, by providing electronic files, so that we could produce these versions as quickly as possible. This is an important element of the Man Booker prize arrangements.
eBooks
And for readers who use commercial eBooks and unabridged downloadable audiobooks there is also good news: all six shortlisted books are also available commercially as unabridged downloadable audiobooks and as ebooks with text to speech enabled.
