Accessibility Overview
PressBooks is a platform for publishing books online. Built off of WordPress, PressBooks offers online publishing in HTML, with options to make the book downloadable in PDF or EPUB formats. We only tested the authoring side and the public/reader side of PressBooks, and didn't do a deep examination of the PDF or EPUB outputs. As such, we can't comment on the non-HTML outputs available for PressBooks.
The PressBooks authoring side is generally accessible. However, when it comes to the publishing/reading side of PressBooks, much of the accessibility of a PressBooks book is left up to whoever has authored it. If the author follows best practices, then the resulting book is accessible.
