reason I didn't respond is that it would be useful to have a better
understanding of the situation and the subject matter.  Certainly raising
this issue with BookShare again as well as with the original publisher
providing the EPUB file is a good idea for the long term, but that won't
help right now.

the course is part of a program of some sort, and seeing what kind of
resources are available there would certainly be one way to proceed.  If
this course is part of a Vocational Rehabilitation plan, there might be
funding to hire someone to read, except in this case they would not be
reading but rather assisting with the elements of the book that are not
accessible.  There are a couple of ways one could approach that even if not
ideal.

the same subject that is more accessible would be worth investigating.  Make
sure to check to see if it might be available from RFBD which might have
described some of the inaccessible elements if they have produced this book.

possible that the job of dealing with this can be reduced by concentrating
on those elements that seem to be particularly important.  It is surprising
sometimes how much of a picture is reinforced by the text.  Again, not
knowing the subject matter puts me and anybody else at a disadvantage.  A
text on programming where none of the examples are accessible would be a
different matter as might be the case with other STEM subjects.  There are
probably no magic answers, though.
