ReadAssist
Information provided by Walt Boyes
Starting in 2000, Baen Barflies who wanted to help a fellow Barfly, Jimmy G., collected money and bought him assistive devices. When Jimmy, who had major physical problems affecting his ability to read, passed away in 2002, the Barflies decided to keep the organization, now called ReadAssist, and use it to help other science fiction and fantasy fans with reading disabilities. ReadAssist is a committee of Science Fiction Public Library, a not-for-profit organization founded by Eric Flint. ReadAssist provides funds and assistance for fans with reading disabilities, and administers a program for Baen Books that permits fans with disabilities to receive ebooks from Baen at no charge. ReadAssist can be found at www.readassist.org or by email at [email protected].
