I went ahead and asked the ladies at my book club yesterday most mentioned BookShare and BARD but there was a few things I've never heard of that perhaps can help your friend's daughter read. I put them in spoiler tags. I hope this helps even though it doesn't answer about book scanning for that I would use 1dollarscan as Tarana suggested.

Comment from Lady:
Rehab counselor can hook her up with victor stream (not a free item but a good rehab counselor should be able to get it for her)
Library for the blind has a device also and a large selection of books. (Free just need a doctor to state she is blind or visually impaired)
My father is blind and was a counselor.
A local NFB would be helpful in finding help also. They often have companies that will show screen readers and magnifying devices.
Reader Pen Scanner

A Pen that scans words on a page and reads them to you.
