Well, none of the major players like Calibre or ADE will work well with
screen readers. You can, however, assuming that your e-books do not have
drm, convert them to more readable formats. Converting books with drm goes
beyond the scope of this list, however. Calibre has an ebook-convert feature
you can use in the command line. Formats like pdf do not convert well,
however, especially for books like math books and things. Pdf was not really
meant to be converted and the formatting usually comes out extremely messy.

Subject: Off topic - e-book readers or software usable built in or external
compability with Window-Eyes?
To all,
Does anybody know of any accessible e-book readers on the market?
I'd prefer software like with the the E-pub accessible features or
anything workabel with Window-Eyes. I've looked online just have been
told on the list that the imperfect Amazon Kindle is good just that
nobody rechecks for typos, etc though. I already know of the
traditionals like NLS e-book, Bookshare.org, RFB and D, Audiable.com,
Project Gutenburg, University of Pennsylvania, Library of Congress,
etc. I thought about Barnes and Noble E-Nook but the department didn't
hear about a built in screen reader for us in mind but they past it
along anyways.
thanks,
Peter
