What is an accessible book? In the simplest terms, an accessible book is a book that has features which make reading possible for people with disabilities. It is one that can be read in ways other than reading print. Alternate formats take many forms. It might be an ebook that can be listened to with voiceover or text-to-speech. It could be a commercial or specialist audiobook. It could be large print or an ebook whose font size is malleable. It could be a braille — either a physical braille book, or a digital braille book that can be read with a refreshable braille display. It might simply be a well-built ebook with good structure and image descriptions and for which the end user can change the font, the type size, the line spacing, etc., to create a comfortable reading experience on the device of their choosing.
