Issuu.com accessibility

Good morning folks-

I have had a question this morning from a content manager about issuu.com's accessibility. In looking at one publication this morning I have not had any luck entering into the embedded player's controls via the keyboard. If I click into the controls then at least some are accessible. However, NVDA does not recognize any of the text in the document (or I do not know how to get it to do so).

Am I missing a keyboard control or two that should get me in to have NVDA read a document, or is the site as inaccessible as it looks to me on first pass? Does anyone have any experience with issuu in the context of accessibility?

If the site is not accessible then we will probably publish the journal in PDF instead of, or at least in addition to, putting it on issuu.

Thanks a lot,
