Hello, is there anyone who's blind who has used VitalSource Bookshelf with
NVDA or JAWS? I have been playing with it recently and I see that I can
have the text of a book read out loud with MS Speech API. This is
insufficient, however, because I want to be able to review the text of the
book with NVDA. This is particularly important when reviewing text by
character is necessary, such as when reading programming books. I don't
see a way to do this. Am I missing something or am I simply out of luck?

Thanks,
Robert
