[nabs-l] accessible ebooks

[vejas]

Hi, Menno.  My name is Vejas, and I am from California.
I use a Braille-Note for my E-Books (and I read a lot.) Bookshare 
is a good site to explore.  Are you familiar with it?

Subject: [nabs-l] accessible ebooks

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,





Menno Schaap
