[Athen] Question re: Apple iPad and eBook accessibility

[Pratik Patel]

Just want to add one Caveat to my earlier post.  The major question to all
of these predictions will be the implementation of their DRM and how that
DRM will affect access to the text. We may have a situation where the iBook
application may be accessible but the text may not be due to the DRM.  Let's
hope that the implementation is sensible.

OK, so the new Apple iPad includes VoiceOver and the built-in iBook  
app uses the open ePub format.  From that, what can we infer about the  
accessibility, or potential accessibility, of eBooks on the iPad?
