But it is the user agent/eBook reader/hardware device that is closed and prevents access by AT. Adobe Digital Editions is an application to read protected eBooks. This application works perfectly well with assistive technology such as screen readers and screen magnifiers. If a certain other platform decides to block access to AT to their eBook reading application, it isn't the non-embedded content that is at fault.
