Listening to audiobooks from the Calibre library on iPhone and iPad

The Calibre library offers a large library of audio books.  Some of these books are commercial audio books for which the publisher has granted access through Calibre to people who are print disabled, which of course includes visually impaired people.  Other Calibre audio books are recordings produced under licence by Calibre which are available only to people who are print disabled. Books are available immediately; you never need to wait for a book to be returned by another reader. Books may be downloaded using the EasyReader app or streamed directly from Calibre's website .

Your first step is to take a look at the Calibre service and then join Calibre at https://www.calibreaudio.org.uk. Calibre currently offers unlimited books for a subscription of £3 monthly or £30 annually.

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