On another note: yesterday afternoon I took in a Bookshare webinar on creating accessible epub documents, and it was really inspiring! I've kind of paid attentioin to epub since it debuted, but only half-heartedly, because it doesn't usually work on the special ebook readers and not many ebook sources were supporting it. Now it looks as if Bookshare is really promoting it and, since they have such an influence on accessibility of educational materials, it looks as if it is finally becoming more widely available as a major format.
Also, now I can do more reading with my iPhone and my Kindle, which don't have the format restrictions special ebook readers have imposed on them.
I'll share the notes and resources when I finish typing up/deciphering my notes.
