My legally blind 92 year old mother has been using this service for years. They send you a free, easy to use player, and books are sent free through the mail. They come with a preprinted card that is reversed to return the books and the entire service is free. I believe there is a requirement for a physician to sign a form confirming the visual of physical disorder. That is it. No issue in quite a few years and it is my mom's main form of entertainment. She loves it.
