[Athen] book applications on the iPhone

Stanza only provides page reading. That is, one has to read a page at a
time. No navigation is available other than that. It lacks key labels on
buttons and tabs. Some of the settings are not accessible. Whoever is
giving Stanza good marks for accessibility needs to look again.

If they are actually text then yes they should be readable on the iPhone as
long as it is VoiceOver ready. I would just open the book in Safari and see
what happens. You might also want to take a look at Stanza
http://www.lexcycle.com/ it gets good reviews for its accessibility and may
be able to do a better job with ebook content.

I've emailed one person on this group about this separately, but wanted to
ask everyone else, has anyone come across a visually impaired person being
able to use any of the book applications available for the iPhone? I'm
thinking of things like the death of Bunny Munro and some Oxford University
Press ones.
