Bookshare, an online library of digital accessible books, is a literacy initiative for education and pleasure reading by Benetech, a nonprofit organization using technology to support humanity. Bookshare has released two new tools to help its members (U.S. students with qualified print disabilities and schools) organize and read ebooks. Web Reader will allow individual members to open and read books with a browser, without requiring them to download the book or use separate software. The Bookshelf will help members and sponsors organize reading, including K-12 textbooks and required reading assignments.
