Hi Evan,
That's got to be something in the webpage coding that's different for a screen reader than visual, that's taking a hit when it comes to accessibility. Visually, each of those things are on their own line. I wonder what's different?

All of the metadata below the synopses, ISBN, if any, Date of Addition and so on, is all smooshed together now instead of each item being on its own line. So if you are using a screen reader, and you, for example, just want to see when a book was added to the collection, you have to start from the beginning of that section, book quality, and read the ISBN, the publisher, and other stuff before you can hear when the book was added rather than just being able to arrow down past that stuff to get to what you want to know.

Hmm. Stranger and stranger. I'm not sure it's the long synopsis that's missing. A book seems to default to showing the long synopsis only if both a long or short are available. The books I was originally looking at each had a brief long synopsis.

But a book's metadata page now only shows one synopsis. The pages are quite different too in that the information that used to be on the right side (other books, book quality, related links) are now on the left side of the page.

Some time in the last week the Bookshare site had some kind of update. I can't find a long synopsis for any book when I go to a book's page. Is there a setting I've missed that let's you see the long synopsis?
