RE: accessible epub

May I ask what it is about the pages created epub that is not accessible?
Personally I use the epub convert option via robobraille.
www.robobraille.org
converting epubs into my preferred format..
which is part of why I am asking what makes your file not accessible, for 
whom exactly?
Best,
karen

But it didn't, and I do not have the extra time to fix it (it's a side project, I really do not have the month that it would take to fix the awful XHTML that Pages generates, in fact whenever I look at the markup I think it would be easier to rewrite it all by hand, or even create my own framework)

Does anyone have any suggestions for this - especially regarding platform discoverability - can it just be that I specify in metadata for one that it is an accessible version and the other one that it is not accessible?
