Banner Ads Considered Harmful
I have to say that I am lucky that I have a print-related disability, because I almost never need to go websites with ads.<p>Services I get access to (no-ads):<p>* 975,000+ books for $50&#x2F;year (Bookshare.org)<p>* 60,000+ professionally narrated audio books for free (US National Library Service)<p>* 80,000+ volunteer narrated audio books for $135&#x2F;year (LearningAlly.org)<p>* Hundreds of Newspapers and Magazines for free (NFB Newsline)<p>* 99% of the books posted on OpenLibrary.org for free (even books currently &quot;borrowed&quot;)<p>* Virtually all libraries for print-related disabilities around the world (sometimes free, sometimes paid) (I can get books in foreign languages easily)<p>Additionally, I use the paid audio apps Blinkist, Audm, and Curio, which everyone has access to. I find them to be super helpful. Blinkist in particular is almost 100% of the time a YouTube and TED talk replacement for me.
