Developers of QT programs have to enable QT accessibility for any screen reader to be able to read said program (since QT is designed to make programs work across operating systems, and all operating systems treat accessibility differently). The Calibre developer has decided, unfortunately, not to do so at this time, but says he'll think about doing it in the future. As Steve mentioned, the command line interface works just fine, as there's no UI to be concerned with. It does, however, require knowledge of typing commands instead of tabbing and arrowing.

Why wouldn't it be accessible if you guys support QT?

The GUI version is not accessible to any screen reader. However, its 
alternative command-line interface works fine.
