Great project. Are many of the books in a format that can easily be converted into audio? Is there a way to search for them, and information on what software your readers find useful for this purpose?
(Note: A lot of print media these days has switched to far-to-small font-sizes. Less of a problem for (zoomable) digital media, but for many that's still a barrier.)
- OfflineSergio 5mo agoFor the Audio part, I suggest https://desktop.with.audio https://desktop.with.audio

- tangledhelix 5mo agoThere are many books available as audio, some are human-read, some were automated. You can see lists here: human-read: https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/1 https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/1 computer-generated: https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/2 https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/2 IIRC many of the human-generated ones come from LibriVox, many of the computer-generated ones came from a collaboration with Microsoft.
