I have found adobe digital editions very accessible for reading. Cutting
and pasting seems to be out.<br>

Hi Lorraine,<br>
<br>
Looks like Wiley e-books utilize Adobe Digital Editions. You have
to use the Adobe software to read a protected version of the book.
According to this Adobe blog, Digital Editions is supposed to work with
JAWS but I have not tried it
(<a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/category/digital-editions">

).<br><br>
I doubt very much that there is a way to convert the E-book to PDF.
E-books are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology to
prevent copying. If anyone knows anything more, I’d love to hear
it.<br><br>

HI<br>
<br>
We have just heard that we unable to get a hard copy of the book
published by Wiley in time for a student with a vision impairment.
We are able to get the book in eBook version. My question is<br>
<br>
1. Has anyone had any success
with the eBooks working with Jaws from Wiley<br>
2. How can you recommend how we can
convert eBooks to PDF or word for some of our students.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
