Develop Alma Digital viewer to support ePub files
We are using Alma Digital to build a repository of accessible texts, available only to students with a "print disability" under UK law. Access is tightly controlled to a specific collection.
We are hosting both PDFs and ePub files on Alma Digital for our users to access. ePub files offer improved user experience for these users with text reflow.
Currently the Alma Digital viewer does not support ePub files.
Please develop the viewer so that users can read ePub files, with all their functionalities; without the user having to download the file and open it in another application.

The Alma Viewer can now display ePub files to end users with an intuitive and accessible embedded 3rd party viewer.

Excellent idea, and badly needed to support Marrakech Treaty lending.
