I am aware of book share's O'riley's collection. I am also aware of how the collection was created. As I have been told, the source for the bookshare was flat text files. So this is going to have a significant impact on the mark-up of the text. I was think of looking into safari to see if it would be any better. I know that O'Riley has been a big advocate of making their publications available to the print disabled community in the past, so it doesn't surprise me to hear that the safari service is accessible.
