The Internet is full of opportunities --
downloadable books and music, current news, the ability to shop from home and to search for information, and so much more. But navigating the web without a mouse can be difficult and confusing, particularly when you're just getting started.
In this innovative book, Anna Dresner -- author of the popular Finding eBooks on the Internet -- uses the National Braille Press website to introduce you to all the basics (and
tricks) for surfing the web without a mouse.
She guides you step-by-step through opening a web page, navigating tables, filling out forms, the basics of shopping online, and much, much more. Learn to shop on our site -- and we'll send you a free book!
AccessWorld's Deborah Kendrick says:
For blind computer users who are fairly new to navigating the World Wide Web and shopping online--and who happen to be among those "braille is best" learning types--Anna Dresner's Braille.com and Beyond is a compact and concise road map to getting that "how to do it" picture in a flash.
