Thank you Jane. I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview and it seems to be quite accessible with Voice Over. At the moment i can only read by page - but maybe i just haven't found the short cut keys for reading by line etc yet. I'm also finding that after every page i manually have to click on next page before it goes on. Do you know if there is a setting to make pages turn automatically? Either way, it is a massive improvement over the previous Digital Editions App which wasn't at all accessible.
