In reading this exchange it was not entirely clear if they are partnering
with Bookshare as a result of your mentioning it or if they coincidentally
were doing so anyway. If it is the former then congratulations and keep
telling the same thing to other publishers.

Hello all I just purchased a book from a publisher/university called Craft
Of Research and the people are so nice. I just happened to spread the news
about
bookshare, saying I volunteer to help make books accessible to those who
can't read printed material or access them for that matter. I just received
some
great news in progress and I'll keep you all posted! See below:
Hi--
I'm very sorry the download page isn't working with your screen reader.
I'll
talk to the folks who put it together and see if it can be made more
readable--I believe, unfortunately, that the download button depends on
Flash, which may complicate that task.
I am sending you, therefore, two alternatives for getting the book on your
machine.
OPTION 1: The standard all-in-one download page (which your reader doesn't
like):
This link will give you a copy of the Craft of Research, 3rd edition, for
180 days:
http://www.bibliovault.org/cgi-bin/DeliverADE.epl?transid=9uAxsgd19sewry2J ;
OPTION 2: Link to the software + the book file:
Step A: You need to have the Digital Editions app on your computer. I
believe the current release is 1.7.1. If you need it, you can download it
from:
http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/#download ;
Step B: Once Digital Editions is successfully installed, use it to open the
attached .acsm file. That'll deliver the book.
-----------------------------------
Also, thank you for mentioning Bookshare..!
The University of Chicago Press has begun to work with Bookshare to make
our
books available there--but it will probably be a few months before you see
our titles there, as we are just getting set up now to send them files,
which I believe will then need to be converted to DAISY format...?
I can hang onto your email address, if you don't mind, and let you know
when
I hear Chicago books are showing up at the Bookshare site.
Please let me know if you have any trouble with the file.
Best,
--Kate
