[Athen] Best EPUB reader for JAWS

[kerscher at montana.com]

The Bookshelf Reader from VitalSource has some issues on Windows with screen
readers. They are working on it and we are testing, but I would not
recommend it right now. The older 7.6.4 may be an option. Thorium will only
work with DRM free, so that is not the issue.

 

Best

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.

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,
