I 've heard that Pearson just offered an American History book in this format, but have 
not personally confirmed that.

Subject: [Nimas.ig] Accessible E-Book from mainstream publisher

Are there any commercial publishers that support accessibility of their
electronic book technology or make their print books easily available as
electronic book in a DAISY or NIMAS format that is accessible?

I am interested in encouraging faculty who are publishing books to use
publishers that support accessibility.

Thanks you for any help you can provide.

Jon
