Because standard epub is a lot more accessible than whatever they're doing with the flashing dots, flashing when using the built-in screen reader, no keyboard navigation, small text, faint text, hard-to-read fonts, etc.

But..the size of a "page" in an eBook has
nothing to do with accessiblity. And vis: page numbers--how many ePUBs have you seen, with hard-coded page numbers? We can, as I previously explained, add RPNs--Real Page numbers, which are encoded (invisibly to all), but which can be accessed and displayed (or heard).
What's peculiar is that I told this client to upload a PDF and they were told that they could--but that RedShelf's "preference" is for ePUB. Couldn't tell it from what I've seen,that's fersure.
A note on accessibility--what would be really nice would be if every college, university, institute and Tom, Dick and Harriet didn't have their own damn made-up accessibility standards. I just went through a brain-damaging process with a college-professor client, whose university insisted that our ePDF only met 49% of their accessibility standards and when we finally--finally--figured out WTH they wanted, was it in WCAG2? Was it even close? Did it even
MAKE SENSE? Hell, no.
