Hi Everyone,

I found this site that says they have a 100% accessible flip book or
e-magazine:
http://www.publispeak.com/en/flipbook/an-accessible-solution/

Anyone use them? It looks like you need to host your content with them?

Any other scripts you know of? I have been looking for a while and have
only found an HTML 5 script that could be customized...but not much more.

Any recommendations?

Cheers

Lisa
