[Athen] Best EPUB reader for JAWS

[Kate Deibel]

I'm not overly familiar with Thorium but I'd also ask if the problems are happening across different EPUBs? There isn't quite DRMs for EPUBs but I've run into a few that tried some tricks to do things like prevent copying text.

Hi Jeremy,

Oh no! I wonder if he needs to uninstall and reinstall Thorium?

Another option that I like is VitalSource Bookshelf. Epubs can be sideloaded into Bookshelf.<https://support.vitalsource.com/hc/en-us/articles/203256896-Sideloading-EPUBs-with-Bookshelf>

Sincerely,

Hi folks,

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Windows EPUB reader that gets along nicely with JAWS?

I referred a student to Thorium and it was working well for him for a while. Now he's having trouble navigating through files and is unable to copy and paste from files. He could do both in the same files just a few weeks ago.

Thanks,
