Hi Lisa,
I have used it with Kindle for PC. Here is the
link to
pageset central to download the page http://www.pagesetcentral.com/home?task=view.download&cid=441 and you will need to create an Amazon
account.
Next, install Kindle for PC http://www.amazon.com/gp/kindle/pc/download/ref=amb_link_151449822_1/180-1283972-7595766?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=142ANPSY84H317KVRZKF&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=1261755682&pf_rd_i=1000426311
I am trying to remember but I think Tobii said it
was
compatible with the Nook or Sony Reader but I would suggest calling
your
local rep. to confirm it.
Regarding your question about
Adobe
Digital Software, this is what we found out when we did our
research:
Ebook Readers for PC:
•MobiPocket
(mobi format)
(Amazon)
•Sony Reader
(PDF, ePub, JPG,
BBeB,
personal docs, MP3)
•Nook (Epub, PDF,
FictionWise)
(Barnes and Noble)
•Bookshare
(Offers 2 free
DAISY
readers)
•Kindle for PC
(AZW,
Mobi,
txt, some PDF, can convert file type
for
a small fee) (Amazon)
It looks like you may need
to
see if you can convert the file type for a small fee but double check with
Tobii
again to see if they have a
work around.
Hope
this is helpful. I think Dan Lipka is the Tobii rep. you could
contact
330) 620-1040. He was able to find out some information for the ALSA
in
preparation for patient care and a presentation.
Good
Luck!

formats? If so, do you have any helpful tips before I embark on this
adventure? Does it seem to work well with adobe Digital Editions
software
(this is compatible with our local library
system)? Also, do you have any pre-programmed pages sets or
“tools” for the
electronic books? I am familiar with this process in Dynavox software, but have
not
done this in VS Communicator yet. Thanks in advance for any
assistance. Lisa M. Bruening, M.S., CCC-SLP Patient Services Coordinator The ALS Association phone: 216-592-2572 toll free: 888-592-2572 fax: 216-592-2575 Check out our webpage:
