Hi
Are you referring to audio format, daisy books?
Recently a drop in day from Dolphin Computer Access at the RNIB demonstrated "Producer"
A piece of software, very simple but completely does the job.
Basically, literally at the click of a button it allows you to create either material copied, scanned, written yourself, into a daisy book.
You can also put it onto MP3 so you can walk around listening to the book on your mps player!
Complete success with visually impaired, as its affordable and simple.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Subject: Electronic books
Has anyone had any success getting books electronically, I've emailed
the publishers at permissions @ Pearson and the RNIB library, no
response from either, principally I am looking for books to support
visually impaired students on Business and computing courses, electronic
versions preferable. Anyone got any good ideas?
