Actually, the DAISY Consortium have been spearheading a major EPUB reading systems testing initiative. There is a ton of information here: http://epubtest.org/testsuite/accessibility/

Subject: [WebAIM] Preferences for epub reading applications/devices

Hello,


Does anyone have information on, or experience with screen reader, EPUB desktop applications that are more common or typical for users? We want to do some QA for EPUBs and could use some direction on what combinations to look at (e.g. Voice Over/iBooks, Readium/NVDA, ???). Is there a preference among users of AT that we want to be sure and check? I am thinking primarily about desktop EPUB reading applications but if that is a poor assumption what are the alternative platforms/devices?


Thank you!

Derek
