[Athen] [EXT]Re: EPUB to HTML issues

[Robert Beach]

This is a publisher EPUB. I'm going to try the R&W EPUB reader when I get a chance to download and install it. We did try the Chrome add-in for R&W but it still did not read the webpages. For now she is using the reader in Edge and it is working fine.

Thanks all.

Read and Write will read epubs pretty well.  Is the student unable to use the epub as is that way?

Wink suggested printing to PDF, and that would work and Read and Write could read those, but the navigation might be a problem plus there will be header information on every page that would be hard to avoid. Those PDFs would at minimum need some cropping.

Is this a Bookshare epub, or something else?

Subject: [Athen] EPUB to HTML issues

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.
