I've got the app in the UK, although when I searched on my iPad, Nook
came up fourth in the list.

Nook accessibility is coming for the mac

2012-11-29 Thread Mary Otten
I just had a nice exchange with the lead for the Barnes and Noble accessibility 
team. I suppose most people on this list know that the Nook app for ios is now 
wonderfully accessible with v/o. In response to a question, he stated that they 
have plans to make Nook accessible on both Mac and pc, and they plan to do it 
by using industry standard frameworks, so the customer and use the application 
as she/he chooses. Are you listening Amazon? No, probably not.

Thanks, Mary! I knew they were going to do it. They did so much work on the IOS 
app that I figured it was likely they'd work on the PC and Mac ones as well.

Re: Nook accessibility is coming for the mac

2012-11-29 Thread Mary Otten
I didn't ask about the stand alone Nook and whether it will be made accessible. 
Seems that could happen if they used standard Android and took advantage of 
what Google builds in for accessibility. But I didn't ask if they plan to do 
that. And by standard framework, I thin they meant that they'll use what's 
built in to provide accessibility, rather than making you use a clunky 
nonintuitive, half-baked piece of junk aka kindle for pc with accessibility 
plug in, which can't be used with a screen reader and is thus missing all the 
built in functionality for reading, searching etc.

Hi Mary,
Given your informative and direct connection, do you mind asking?  Some if 
not many would appreciate a stand alone reader I am sure.

Thanks for sharing,
