Accessible Reading discussion

Hi everyone,

This group's been dead quiet, but we're still here.

I just wanted to remind you all that, though Adobe Digital Editions is the defacto standard for EPub books on windows, many smaller publishers that produce EPub do so DRM free. Though Editions has improved in accessibility recently, the books you buy to use there exclusively are usually DRM protected.

I recently bought a few EBooks from http://www.ypdbooks.com and they were all DRM free, well presented, and I'm enjoying them greatly.

So take heart!

What are the options for reading in ePub? Up to this point I've been converting, but if there's something quick and easy that doesn't require conversion I'll give it a try.

The only two I'm aware of on windows are Epubread for Firefox and Balabolga, the latter of which loses formatting. I tend to convert to text, simply for output with eloquence. The format I buy in usually little resemblance to the format I read in, but it's just the fact that we can actually get the content that I tend to look for.holds

I'd also like to recommend smash words.com. Their books are DRM free, and if epub isn't your thing; you have the option to download the books in different formats.
