BookShare

BookShare is an incredible resource for students with print disabilities. Their mission statement begins, "People with print disabilities deserve to enjoy reading as much as all other readers." What about readers with disabilities other than print whose reading abilities are affected? They deserve to enjoy reading as well. BookShare lists 20 major donors on their website. I know that they have the ability to make their technology accessible to an even larger range of students. Their technology could be a huge asset to students with autism. Many of the students I am currently student teaching with cannot read, however, they enjoy being read to. Their receptive language is often significantly better than their verbal abilities. These students could really benefit from access to BookShare. 
As for those with print disabilities, are there potential accessibility issues in using BookShare? From what I can tell, BookShare is incredibly accessible. Mobile versions are available for both Apple and Android. It is compatible with Kurzweil and other scan and read technologies. It can also be converted to a braille format. Although I have not been able to explore the fine details without access to BookShare, the developers seem to have addressed potential accessibility issues.
