Accessibility metadata for selecting: Features books have for readers with print disabilities

I would like to see the accessibility features of the book that is being considered for purchase. For example, is the publisher Global Certified Accessible through Benetech? Does the book have headers? Is it a correctly tagged EPUB?

    Thank you for this suggestion! We do have adding more accessibility information at the point of eBook purchasing on our plan. Currently, we are researching the data that we get now, the data that we still need to collect, and how best to integrate and display it. We don't yet have a timeline to share, but we are working on this actively, especially as world governments will start requiring this information to sell eBooks in their countries.
