[quote=Anonymous][quote]Alas, buying her the book is not a great option for us now. My wife is visually impaired and reading is difficult. She has to read a lot for work so I bought her a 32-in monitor so that she can use zoomtext to help her read but outsize of that, bills, forms, etc, she no longer reads for entertainment. For entertainment we get her audiobooks and the audiobook version of of Auntie Mame is out of print. Used copies are over $200, so it's not likely that I'll be able to get her this soon. I used to get some books in print and read to her, but we haven't done that since out toddlers were born. Maybe in another few years, it would be a good gift...

Does your wife have a membership in Learning Ally?  http://www.learningally.org/audiobook-membership/?gclid=CNGFmdnO-L8CFSxk7AodHRMAbg  
$119/year.  All the audio books she can download for free, including if she wants to download kids books.  Many of the newer books have the text feature and you can turn off the voice function and she can read to them or they can listen together.

The DC Public Library does not have the audiobook of Auntie Mame.  They have the downloadable book though, if she wants to read on her monitor. (But it's hard to read with toddlers around anyway. )

Oh and the Auntie Mame audiobook (if you don't mind cassettes) is on amazon for $25:  http://www.amazon.com/Auntie-Patrick-Special-Library-Cassettes/dp/B000FVW8EU/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407121314&sr=1-2&keywords=auntie+mame+audiobook
