Abstract

In this paper, accessibility in the EPUB3 and the draft version of Web Publication formats is studied, with particular reference to interaction features. EPUB3 and Web Publication were chosen primarily because they are based on Open Web Platform technologies. Using an eBook prototype designed in EPUB3 and Web Publication, we investigated whether both reading applications and screen reading assistive technology are sufficiently mature to support accessibility. The results revealed that they do not yet fully support these formats.
