They are currently implementing accessibility improvements in the mobile app, so reading online or downloading is temporarily disabled. 

The following features are available in the online e-book viewer:

  • Alternative format requests for people with disabilities
  • Full accessibility information in e-book detailed records e.g. display formats, DRM-free status, and content accessibility
  • Text to speech functionality 
  • Spacing controls
