[Athen] EPUB's

[Sorensen, Neal B]

I tried to send this earlier, but it didn't seem to reach the listserv. I'm sending again!...

For EPUB, I think your best bet is Microsoft Edge (provided you're on a PC). It has built-in EPUB support, a navigation and options toolbar, and Edge has a "Read Aloud" feature which has made me rethink it's viability as a browser. You don't have to bring your own TTS reader to Edge, it will do that itself.

Alternatively, I think Google Drive has an EPUB reader feature, but it's BYOR (bring your own reader). Or on a Mac, iBooks will read an EPUB, that has a TTS reader built-in too, though I have not tested that personally. Smartphone readers are pretty good too.

Support for EPUBs is catching up a bit, but slowly... Karen: I'm curious what your experiences were in creating an EPUB with Calibre? I have tried that, but found it pretty cumbersome and confusing with all the options and configuration that was possible.
