Unfortunately, from what I have seen and learned, the adobe ones are not
accessible.
Get the Mobipocket ones or the Pom Reader (formerly called ereader) It is
available from ereader.com I think.
I definitely know the mobipocket ones can be read with Jaws that are secure.
If ebooks.com does not have them in Mobipocket format another great source with
similiar pricing and around the same selection of books is fictionwise.com. If
you read ebooks with Mobipocket reader, you have to use the Jaws cursor and it
is a little complicated to do but it is possible.
A great site which gives instructions on how to use all the formats with Jaws
and tells a lot about reading Ebooks and which ebooks can be read using secure
formats can be found at:

Hope this helps.

Hey listers,
Have any of you bought ebooks in the Adobe Reader PDF format from ebooks.com?
Ebooks.com wants you to download "Adobe Digital Editions" to read their PDF
ebooks, but I'm wondering if this reader software is accessible with JAWS.
When I attempt to use Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 (screen-reader accessible
version) to read this ebook, the copy protected ebook prevents Adobe Acrobat
Reader from configuring the ebook so it is JAWS accessible.
If any of you have a solution, please speak up. Thanks!
Alan
