Hello,
Good news on this title!!!
I just downloaded it from Bookshare.
It is published by Macmillan Learning It has page numbers and images and is
WCAG AA compliant.
Also, Macmillan Learning has a policy of providing the PDF if for some
reason a PDF is needed.
I opened it in Thorium Reader on Windows and read the Accessibility Summary.
I then went directly to page 100.
I believe this also uses MathML which is a terrific feature.
A wonderfully accessible publication.

Unless I am misunderstanding the email chain, Kurzweil opens for both
desktop and universal library epub formatted materials.
It is true lack of proper page numbering can be an issue and no images
either.

Hi,
You know that Kurzweil has an EPUB reader for the Mac. Have they released
the one for Windows?

Unfortunately, George, all of these formats need a ton of work on our end to
be converted to what the student needs to work with. The ePub doesn't have
page numbers and it also cannot be read by Kurzweil. The Word version has
no images and no workable table of contents or index (kind of important for
this kind of book). The student is not blind so Braille and Daisy are not
appropriate either.
I only ever ask for a PDF when I need one, and in this case, I need one.
Publisher is only providing an ePub, which does not meet this student's
needs.

This is in the Bookshare collection, so I believe you could get it in Word,
MP3, BRF, DAISY, and of course EPUB.
