Listening to audiobooks from RNIB Reading Services on iPhone and iPad

RNIB Reeding Services offers a large library of audio books. Some of these books are commercial audio books for which the publisher has granted free access to people with sight loss. Other RNIB audio books are recordings produced under licence by RNIB which are available only to people with sight loss. Books are available immediately; you never need to wait for a book to be returned by another reader and, better still, you may keep the book for as long as you wish. RNIB audiobooks can now be downloaded and played on iPhones and iPads using the Dolphin EasyReader app. You will need to sign-up for the service first at the RNIB Reeding Services web page. The service is free of charge to people with sight loss in the U.K.

When your application is complete you will be able to search for and download audio books using the Dolphin EasyReader app. Here are RNIB's instructions on using Dolphin EasyReader.

The sign-up process, and subsequent use of Dolphin EasyReader is all compatible with VoiceOver or low vision settings.

The RNIB Library contains books in several formats. Only those items in DAISY format are audiobooks.

If you have any problems setting up or using this service then please contact RNIB Reading Services.
