This is important for blind people too, since a lot of stuff like Kindle, Apple Books and such, use DRM. That means that if I wanted to read a book on my Braille EReader, without using my phone which adds another device, another battery, and so on, I'd have to un-DRM the book. Lately though, Kindle have changed their DRM stuff so the tools used don't work anymore. So getting them from these types of sites; thankfully EPUB versions are available, is the only way I can choose what device I read my book on.

It's a bit like using emulators to read text from the screen using OCR.




This is great to hear. We've put a decent amount of time into accessibility when building the site. If you have any feedback for us on this, that'd be very helpful!
