Can I just add to this that for protected EPUBS you'll need something like Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/digitaleditions1-8/).

There are many ways to access Epubs in windows. To convert them, try Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ Note that though Calibre is not itself accessible, at least with Jaws, the ebook-convert command line tool is quite easily usable http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html You can also read the Epub directly with several packages, the one that pops first to mind is http://q-continuum.net/qread/ and there are some plug-ins for Firefox which will also read them http://www.epubread.com/en/ Keep in mind that Epub files are just zip files, if you add the .zip extension, then go into the file with the zip folders function of windows, or extract the zip file with your favourite zip utility, you will be able to read the HTML files with your browser like any other HTML file. I hope that's of use.
