Inclusive Stories for Every Reader

At Sloane.ink, we believe that every reader deserves an immersive and barrier-free experience. We are committed to digital inclusion across our entire platform, from our website to our e-books.

Digital Publications (E-books)

Our e-books are professionally engineered to be “Gold Standard” accessible files. This page serves as the official Certifier Report for our titles, including Desire: The Physics of Touch, Hunger: Anatomy of Silence, and Passion: The Alchemy of Surrender.

All our digital publications conform to the following technical standards:

  • EPUB 3.3: Validated using EpubCheck 5.1.
  • Accessibility 1.1: Fully compliant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards.
  • Audit Tooling: Verified using Ace by DAISY 1.3.6.

Key Accessibility Features in our Books:

  • Semantic Navigation: Logical reading orders with internal landmarks and complete Tables of Contents.
  • Screen Reader Optimization: Proper use of structural tags (headings, paragraphs, lists) and ARIA roles.
  • Visual Flexibility: Fully reflowable layouts that support user-defined text scaling, high-contrast modes, and font overrides.
  • Alt-Text: Descriptive alternative text for all essential imagery, including covers and author portraits.

Our Website

We strive to meet or exceed the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards for our web presence. To ensure an accessible experience:

  • We use semantic HTML to improve navigation for assistive technologies.
  • We maintain high colour contrast for all text and interactive elements.
  • We ensure full keyboard navigability throughout the site.
  • We regularly test our content with screen readers and automated auditing tools.
