Packaging the Bookworm e-reader could significantly improve the
accessibility of Debian. Bookworm is written by blind developers,
according to its website.
E-book readers are important if you are vision-impaired. Many e-book
programs don't work well with screenreaders. Bookworm has and interface
and documentation that is accessible to the vision-impaired, and it also
has good independent reviews from sighted users.
FBreader seems to have been proprietized (formerly GPL2 or later)! I'm
not sure if it's been forked or what; there do not seem to be new
updates.
