Hey, fellow screen reader users: is Google ebooks accessible?

[kestrell]

Has anyone bought and used a Google ebook
http://books.google.com/books ?
Added later: never mind, I just found
the appropriate Web page for Google accessibility
http://www.google.com/accessibility/products/
and the anser is "no." I continue to be boggled by how the Amazon Kindle and Google ebooks manage to still not be accessible to people who use screen readers.

Yeah, tis majorly boggling. Also how Netflix refuses to display captions on streaming content. I just got back from a Chicago trip and there were so many wheelchair inaccessibilities I wanted to cry.

There was a five-year window when I thought "things are really going to change!"

Gloom, doom, distress.
