					<title>Audio Books – Your Advice Needed!</title>
					<description>One of the most important aims of Kitaba – The Islamic Texts for the
Blind – is to produce material from the Islamic tradition in accessible
formats. We have a number of classical texts in Braille and one audio
book in Daisy/ MP3 format. To help us plan our production, we would
like our users’ advice on these formats and the best way of
distributing the material.</description>
