Through direct involvement with research centers, experts, advocates, and users in the accessibility community, RedShelf is on the forefront of accessibility development.
RedShelf's website and eReader are built to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
Our eReader has been given a 100% non-visual reading score by the epubtest.org EPUB 3 Support Grid Test Suite. The International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) designed the The Grid Test Suite, and it is maintained through a partnership between the IDPF, DAISY Consortium and the Book Industry Study Group.
