[BlindMath] Request for information

[Rich Caloggero]

I've had good experience with manning books for technical material:


https://www.manning.com/


They offer epub, live books (essentially HTML versions you can access 
directly from their site), as well as PDFs and Kindle (haven't tried 
these so their accessibility is not knows).


ePub seems pretty accessible (but all depends on the software you use to 
acces), and the live books are good.


I cannot speak about math content as I have not bought this type of 
content from them.
