I tested DA yesterday with Jaws and NVDA (preview 3 ov version 1.8)
and read an unprotected epub2 book with no problems (braille and voice
support), though sometimes it appears the space between a full stop
and the first letter of the following sentence sometimes disappears,
not sure if it is the book or the software though.
Good experience so far, though I have yet to play with other formats.
Are there any discussion lists on accessible eBooks in particular.
I realize this is a very borderline topic for this list, but have
quite a few questions on the subject.
