Brief: Utility Converts Books to EPUB Format

Assistive technology developer Don Johnston Inc. has released a new tool that allows users to convert electronic books to the EPUB format, used by Android and iOS devices, among other electronic book readers and tablet devices.

DAISYtoEPUB is available now for $99 for a single seat, with prices ranging from $999 to $6,999 for unlimited district licenses, depending on the number of sites in the district. It supports Mac OS X and Windows systems. Further information can be found here.
