<p class="MsoNormal">The Bookshelf Reader from VitalSource has some issues on Windows with screen readers. They are working on it and we are testing, but I would not recommend it right now. The older 7.6.4 may be an option. Thorium will only work with DRM free,
so that is not the issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
