Hey Alice.... try not to use autism as an excuse. Your "meltdown" is not necessarily caused by other's lack of logic, but by your own lack of ability to understand someone else's point of view - especially when it conflicts with yours. And yes, I have raised two autistic children, three with ADHD, one bi-polar, one with severe dyslexia and dysgraphia, and two with hearing challenges....
Take a deep breath.
- Everyone agrees that current readers/apps do not meet the spec. It is the subject of much complaining around here - regularly.
- Everyone also agrees that it would be wonderful for everyone to follow the spec - the way they interpret it.
- Your argument is correct that people with disabilities are probably going to be using a device/app that addresses their accessibility needs.... the issue with your argument is that for the people who DON'T have accessibility needs - that DON'T have the newer/better/more compliant reader/app - THEY will have the issues mentioned above.
- You are more than welcome to develop two versions of your book... one that is 100% accessible, label it as such, and sell it on the appropriate venue... the other that will work for everyone else. OR... you can take the well-intentioned advice being given here on how to bypass all these issues. THEN - you can use all your profit and launch a crusade for ebook spec compliance.
