Hi. Most traditional PDF files work fine with adaptive software, but I have never gotten an eBook that required the Digital Editions plug-in to work with a screen reader. If you have, I would love to know the trick. If screen readers can read Digital Editions format, maybe someone can take it a step further and make those files readable on our readers.

Many PDF files these days read just fine with screen readers like Magic, and JAWS, atleast that has been my experience.
