What an Accessibility Audit checks

Think of this as a diagnostic for your ebook’s internal wiring. If it fails here, it’ll fail in the wild.

Structure & Headings

Proper heading levels, ARIA landmarks, semantic HTML so screen readers navigate cleanly.

TOC & Navigation

Clickable, logical TOC (nav.xhtml + NCX) with every section reachable by keyboard.

Images & Alt Text

Coverage for logos, figures, and decorative images with proper null alt where appropriate.

Language & Metadata

Page language, title/creator, accessibility metadata block for OPF, and roles.

Reading Systems

Spot checks against common readers and assistive tech patterns to avoid gotchas.

Standards Compliance

WCAG 2.1 AA and EPUB Accessibility 1.1 signals that retailers and libraries expect.

Why this matters before you upload

Major distributors quietly enforce accessibility. Fail the basics and uploads can stall, get flagged, or limit distribution in stricter regions (like the EU). More importantly, readers who rely on assistive tech deserve a first‑class experience.

  • •Fewer upload errors on Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Kobo, and Google Play.
  • •Better discoverability via clean metadata and accessibility signals.
  • •Professional credibility — the details most readers never see but always feel.

“I thought my EPUB was perfect. The audit found missing alt text and a broken nav link I’d never seen. Uploaded clean the second try.”
— Laura M., Indie Author
