TPAC 2023 (Calendar)

ePub format is a powerful open web technology for digital books. Considering the standard's possibilities, digital books can be more interactive and provide different experiences without letting accessibility best practices out of this scenario.

In this session, we will present some experiments with ePub books and discuss the potential of ePub technology and the challenges and opportunities for publishers and users. Participants are welcome to present experiments to enrich the discussion.

To facilitate the discussion, we will work with three main questions the participants can discuss.

  • How a more interactive book can improve or get worse the publication accessibility?

  • What are the challenges and opportunities for publishers in this field?

  • How can authors explore this kind of experience in digital books?

Post-TPAC note: No minutes were taken at this session.
