Of interest for people reading ebooks. A new version of
Adobe Digital Editions is available. Users relying on
VoiceOver, JAWS, or NVDA, and keyboard-only or
high-contrast users can make use of this application to
read electronic books, including books from booksellers
such as Barnes and Noble and Waterstones, and books
loaned via public libraries which use OverDrive for
electronic book delivery.

In this release we've addressed several issues
identified internally and externally (thank you!),
including the major request which was to enable
continuous reading. We've also shared information with
assistive technology vendors who have done significant
work on their end to increase support for this
application.

I'm interested in any feedback that people may have on
this release, as well as requests for future
enhancements.

Thanks,
AWK
