perhaps offlist if you prefer, but I would like to know why you think a
storage format might have such a drastic impact on content delivery.
epub is a Xhtml + XML based format meant specifically for ebooks.
you are still talking about the storage format, and not the delivery
mechanism. Blind people, afaik, dont give a rat's ass as to what or how
the content is stored. Its the delivery in such situations that makes it
relevant.
the point you made is that epub would convert better into braile or even
text-to-speach, as compared to any other format. I'm just asking you how
you got to that result.
Editing : pdf, djvu are not meant for this.
Size: epub is better than others
lines can be wrapped in epub but not in pdfs/djvu ... this is
important for reading the same document on other readers/pc
Atleast the publishing, media and newsprint industry would disagree with
you on being able to edit or change column width in pdf files :) You can
render pdf into raster files - but one would consider that for the
target audience surely ?
