Just FYI-- don't know if your friend likes science fiction/fantasy, but Baen Books (
www.baen.com) provides free books to disabled readers (the link says "amputees" but from what I've read anyone who cannot physically hold a book qualifies).
Quote:
Applications will be processed by ReadAssist (www.readassist.org), a volunteer group devoted to helping disabled readers find the books they want in the form they need, and join the community of fandom. The application form has been set up by ReadAssist, and can be found through either WebScriptions or ReadAssist.
If you'd like to volunteer to help ReadAssist, please contact them at their website: query@readassist.org.

The main ReadAssist website is apparently being revamped right now, though. It sounds like they may actually have more resources for disabled readers in particular, and can perhaps be contacted by email.
