Accessible publishing is an approach to publishing and book design whereby books and other texts are made available in alternative formats designed to aid or replace the reading process. Alternative formats that have been developed to aid different people to read include varieties of larger fonts, specialised fonts for certain kinds of reading disabilities, Braille, e-books, and automated Audiobooks and DAISY digital talking books. Accessible publishing has been made possible through developments in technology such as Print on demand (POD), E-book readers, the XML structured data format, and the Internet. ==Aim== The aim of accessible publishing is to make reading easier for those who have difficulties doing such. This group includes people who are blind or visually impaired, people with learning disabilities, and people who are learning a second language. Accessible publishing also aims to allow people to read whichever format allows them to read fastest or allows them to absorb the information in a better way. In the twenty-first century, the accessible publishing aim is to make every book available in all formats so that every reader can read with ease and proficiency. Guidelines and techniques for publishing in accessible formats have been made available by several organisations and authors, including: * EDItEUR: "Accessible Publishing - Best Practice Guidelines for Publishers".〔EDItEUR: "(Accessible Publishing - Best Practice Guidelines for Publishers ).
