RNIB Reading Services

Synapptic now includes easy access to download audio books from RNIB reading services. We have added specific menu options within Synapptic for this. These allow for searching, downloading and showing a list of books currently being listened to. Playback is simple and each book remembers the last position.

Please note: Due to varying specifications for tablets or smartphones, some features will vary slightly. For example, the magnifier will work better if the camera on your phone or tablet has a higher megapixel count, or alternatively the function won't work if the device doesn't have a camera.
