Some info missing *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2021* Does not compltely cover aspects of creating an E-Pub. ### ⭐⭐ Soundtracks for the blind. *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 8, 2014* Matt Garrish, Accessible EPUB3 (O'Reilly Media/Tools of Change, 2012)Garrish tells us at the end of Accessible EPUB3 that is is, in fact, a teaser for the full-length EPUB3 Best Practices. That's the wrong place to put that information; it should have been in the beginning, and masking it until the end revised my rating of this book down by a non-trivial amount. Since (presumably) you are reading this review, you won't have to worry about that, so take that into account as we go along. I was kind of amused that O'Reilly Media decided to release this and HTML5 for Publishers in the same whack of free material, since the two books are basically opposites; in fact, one of the big features the latter highlights, canvas, is specifically targeted in Accessible EPUB3. “Although a potentially interesting element to use in ebooks, at this time the canvas element remains largely a black hole to assistive technologies.” Reading the two of them in tandem is probably a good idea, assuming you care about accessibility issues (and if you're publishing ebooks, you probably should). Oh, that reminds me: take note of the use of the word Accessible in the title. When I grabbed this, I was thinking of it as “we're going to take this ridiculously complex specification and lay it out for you in layman's terms”, when in fact it is used in the Microsoft Control Panel sense of “here's a high-level overview of making your ebooks readable by folks who will not be approaching them from the normal way (e.g., the blind)”. And a high-level overview it is, though unlike HTML5 for Publishers, there's enough meat on Accessible EPUB3's bones to make it worth your while. You will, once again, find yourself delving into more detailed work to make a full go of it (and preferably a different one than the full-length of this, since anyone who uses the phrase “best practices” in a non-ironic sense does not deserve one penny of your money), but this is at least a halfway decent starting point. Just be aware that it is not the full monty. ** ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive "best practices" will save developers from bad results *by F***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2014* It's one thing to know how to make something; it's another to understand how to make something as good as possible within the constraints of technology. Matt Garrish helps us do the latter. He moves pretty quickly through all parts of EPUB3, but he slows down to give in-depth examples just when they're needed.The only aspect of EPUB best practices that I missed, was more visual presentation of the interaction of HTML code and image display in the discussion of the fixed layouts versus reflowable. Garrish refers us to free samples in the online EPUB3 resources, which is helpful, but I would have liked more visual examples within the book itself.Also, an index is included but it's hard to navigate. It would have been helpful to have links to each alphabet letter at the top of the index.Neither of those reduces the overall real value of the book, which I think is terrific for anyone who wants to make the best EPUB3 that they can for a book they're working on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/12411091-accessible-epub-3](https://www.desertcart.in/products/12411091-accessible-epub-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
