Accessibility issues with Issuu

Hi There,

Does anyone know if Issuu.com is accessible?

My gut feeling is that since it's flash based, it's not. I also can't find
any mention of accessibility on Issuu's website and the only place where I
can find Issuu employees engaging on the issue they appear to believe that
being able to zoom is good enough (even for blind users!)

I'm trying to get back-up for NOT using it on our training website...

Thanks,
