Re: Epub readers for windows
Hi there,
@1: I recommend epubreader for Firefox and Chrome.
As you probably know, epub files are just html (website like) files, packed with some additional data and informations in one file. Html is very accessible for us, as it is just a playn text with marked structures such as headings, links, lists etc.
Tools like Bookworm or Balabolka just throw away these informations, what might be okay, if you don't need them, for example in a scify novel, but for technical and educational books, where formatting is important, having a proper renderer is very useful.
And this is where epubreader steps in.

As you most likely know, your browser is already capable of rendering html files, because... it is a browser.
Epubreader is an extension to either Firefox or Chrome, which just takes the .epub file and renders it properly, like a website.
You can turn pages with arrow keys, you can track your progress with percentages, make bookmarks and use all web navigation functions, like jumping to next heading, link, listitem, navigating in a table etc.
And another biig plus... You can use MathML!
Okay, this is most likely not such fancy thing for non-technical guys, but for crazy scientists like me, this is quite a revolutionary thing, as in pdf files for example, there is no support for accessible math content at all!
With epub capabilities and a proper renderer like Epubreader, I can finally advice book authors a way to publish their work to be good looking and accessible in the same time.
Happy epubbing.
Best regards
Rastislav
