[HPforGrownups] HBP - can anyone help, please

No: HPFGUIDX 131853

As we're all aware, HBP comes out two weeks today.  One disadvantage I have 
as a blind person is that I won't get to listen to the book until 25th 
August, which is when the UK audio version comes out.  By this time, 
discussions will have started within this and other groups, thereby spoiling

it for me before I get the chance to read it.  Does anyone know of any 
websites, please, where I can read the book when it comes out - only read 
it, not downloading?

Sherry now:

Derek, are you in the UK?  There are sites here in the US that will have the
book either scanned in or recorded and available in daisy format by a day or
two aft the release.  There are already volunteers set up to scan and to
record the daisy format.  I'm assuming you are in the UK, if you're waiting
till late august for the audio book.  Can you check with RNIB to see if
there is any service that will have the book scanned onto a web site right
away?  If not, if you are in the US, check out:

www.bookshare.org

and or

www.rfbd.org

Unfortunately, people outside the US can't participate in book share,
because of some sort of copyright concern.  I am not sure about RFBD.

I hope this helps.  

Sherry
