<p class="MsoNormal">A colleague brought this to my attention. My understanding was that Jaws could read EPUBs already, but one she just received from a publisher requires the download/installation/use of Adobe Digital Editions in addition to Jaws to read.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this new, or have I missed something? Since publishers are now foisting ePubs onto us, I need to know if we are going to run into these types of problems. “It will work, but, you need this thing and this thing and this other thing
too…”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My biggest gripe is needing to give students yet another way they have to read their materials, when what they had in the first place was working just fine before publishers decided to take it upon themselves to tell us what our students
need and want.<o:p></o:p></p>
