[Athen] VitalSource

[George Kerscher]

Hi,
 
You might want to check out the accessibility rating at www.epubtest.org
 
View the support grid with 78 reading systems; Vital Source is in there under their different platforms.
The direct link to the grid is:
http://epubtest.org/results/
 
The far right column is for accessibility. Follow the link for the details, like with JFW or NVDA, etc.
 
Also, when books are brought into the Vital Source collection (or any other company), there is a big difference between good EPUB and bad PDF, so that handshake between content and reading systems should be considered.
 
The epubtest is testing with good EPUB.
 
Best
George

Hello All, 
 
Has anyone had an opportunity to experience VitalSource as a place for books that are accessible to JAWS users? I've got a request for a stat book published by Wiley, which is using VitalSource as its eBook platform. 
 
Thanks!
