Yes, that is how I extracted the files. While JAWS and NVDA reads the files fine, Read&Write does not.

Thanks.

Hello,

A few thoughts:

It could be how you extracted. You can rename .epub to .zip and unzip it. The content documents are in XHTML and should open in any browser.

Secondly, if the EPUB is from a source that protects the files, they may be encrypted, which of course would cause problems.

Hello all,

Twice now I have extracted the HTML files from an EPUB book but Read&Write was not able to read it. I tried opening the files in Chrome and Edge with no luck. I was able to get the reader in Edge to read the content and my screen reader would read it fine, but not Read&Write. Any ideas why?

Thanks.
