This thread is about discovering EPUB publications
that can be rendered using the specified writing-mode.
It is NOT about discovering the writing-mode of a given
document.  To understand the differences between
these two, please have a look at EPUB Accessibility first.

This thread is NOT about changing the writing-mode of a
document.  But it is assumed that alternate style tags
of IDPF are usable.

Neither.  It is about the distribution of EPUB
publications rather than reading systems.  Please
have a look at EPUB Accessibility first.
