Many people did not consider my issue with mathematics as images. This image is a "reflowable" book on Projective Geometry from Springer-Verlag sold on Vital Source. All the text enlarges and reflows, but the mathematical notation is not enlarged. That is the kind of sloppy presentation of mathematics. It is very hard to read this because you cannot treat it like PDF that you must have to zoom, and you cannot treat it like reflowable text because every formula must be zoomed. Vital Source is a web based service. This format is misleading and very difficult to use. It should violate SC 1.4.10. As far as understanding that mathematics is language not images, Springer-Verlag and Vital Source should know better. How can a young person with low vision become a scientist? Best, Wayne
