lynx-dev [Off-topic]: Talking books for the blind

[Roger Hill]

Thanks to everyone who replied to me. It seems that there are two
types of 'talking books'.

First, there is the 'audio book' that one would buy in a bookstore.
These are available on CD or audio cassette, and work in 'standard',
readily available equipment.

Secondly, there are special 'talking books' for the blind. These are
recorded in a special format (to avoid easy copying??) and require
special playback equipment, available from national foundations for
the blind, and commercially from organisations such as 'The
Lighthouse'.
