Lately I've been reading "Accessible EPUB 3", by Matt Garrish.
It's very handy.

(If you don't have access to O'Reilly books or the online
library, you can get a free trial at Safari to look at the book.
But a lot of academic libraries and even some public library
systems have access to the network.)
