Gift Subscriptions

You can purchase a Bookshare.org subscription for somebody with a qualifying disability. You can also order a Braille book as a gift.

If you decide to purchase a gift subscription, we will take your contact and payment information, and the name, email and address of the person to whom you want to give the gift subscription. If you provide us with an email address, once payment is confirmed, we will send you an email that you can forward to the gift recipient that contains instructions. Or, the recipient can contact us via email (info@bookshare.org) to claim the gift subscription. Subscriptions cost $50 a year plus a one-time $25 sign up fee for new members. All students are eligible for free subscriptions beginning October 1 of 2007.

Who is eligible for a gift subscription?

• Anyone with qualifying disabilities are eligible for Bookshare.org subscriptions. This includes people with visual impairments, learning disabilities, or mobility impairments. Embossed Braille books can be ordered for or by anyone in the U.S. with no sign up or proof of disability process required.


• After receiving the gift subscription, the recipient will need to register on the Bookshare.org website (or if under 18, a parent will need to sign the Member Agreement) and provide proof of disability. More information on these steps are available from the About Membership link.


• Once a subscription is paid, there are no per-book download charges or other costs.
