[nabs-l] accessible ebooks

[Menno Schaap]

Hi all,

 

A short introduction of myself, I'm  a law and economics student at the
university of Maastricht in the Netherlands. I am practically blind, I use
Window- Eyes in combination with NVDa with speech and braille output to
study.

 

I have a question concerning the use of ebooks. In the Netherlands, the
study books are normally digitalized by a foundation. Unfortunately this
process takes around 4to 6 months. 

However, some study books are available in ebook (epub) format.I tried to
figure out the accessibility of these ebooks, the content seems accessible,
but is secured with drm I did not find any useful eBook reader. Do You have
experience in reading ebooks? And also with help of a screen reader?

 

 

Met vriendelijke groet,
