Hello Chris, Joe: You are right about Adobe's poor performance in the accessibility department. Recently, I was forced to use Adobe's Digital Editions Reader to be able to read some Digital Editions PDF files(DRM?) and its accessibility was at best, awful. The good news is that Adobe might have to make the accessibility bar that Apple has set in its products. And Joe, you are right, something is better than nothing at all, but the problem is we have been spoilt by Apple's accessibility features. :)
