Are you referring to the statement/rumour in another forum that only ereaders capable of TTS with appropriate controls will be permitted for sale in Italy in order to meet accessibility requirements?

The rules do not mandate epub3 and can be met with epub2. Not sure about AltText on images in azw3 or old mobi.
And I doubt Italy will insist physical ereaders have TTS. They & all EU might insist iOS and Android do TTS, but they have for years, though some apps only read a page/screen at a time unless TTS is built in. That will meet requirements. |

Does anyone know if there is a "plain" ePub3 template available somewhere on the web, fully accessible and compatible with ePub2, from which I could start almost from scratch?

I would find Blitz a bother. I think it's just easier to create an ePub 3 eBook but not to use CSS code that doesn't work in ePub 2. And in the HTML, don't use classes with <section>, <header>, or <figure>. And don't use <figure> where a <div> would be used in ePub 2. Also, you will need an NCX ToC to keep compatibility with ePub 2.
If I wanted to create an ePub 3, I would use the plugins for Sigil that help in creating ePub 3. |

However, if you embed fonts in Calibre, check in the editor etc, before you convert and then convert to azw3, transfer via USB, never "Send to Kindle" service and select Publisher on the Kindle theme it should work. All up to date FW Kindles before PW1 except K1, K2, DX and DXG. All kindles from PW1 on any FW version. Basically any kindle with FW for azw3 will work with embedded fonts. Make sure in Calibre Editor that the fonts really are there. The Calibre editor can add them but epub->epub conversion with [ ]Embed Fonts and [ ]Subset fonts is simplest. They may also need to be subset if large. 100% Agree if converting someone else's work you don't change anything, unless it's PD from OCR. Last edited by Quoth; 07-06-2023 at 08:22 AM. |
