Accessibility is very important in publishing, not only are some readers not able to read themselves, but many can find other parts of reading challenging. This is why Audiobooks are so important. Audiobooks are a hands-free way of reading without having to even look at a page.
In this current pandemic, eBooks are also growing in popularity – seeing as they’re an instant form of reading. Not only are they a lot cheaper than the traditional book, there’s no form of transit. Delivery is instant. Kindle also has a unique feature that allows readers to alter the size of the font for those with low or impaired vision.
Finally – for those who can and want to read a physical book, many publishers, wholesalers and shops have put in extra measures to make sure they can be sent out. Of course, there will be delays for some, but extra social distancing and hygiene measures means book delivery is still possible!
