I tend to agree with Alistair; an iPad or table device was the first thing that came to mind when I read the post.
I checked the Daisy website and noticed they no longer recommend or support dedicated hardware ePub readers, or Daisy readers.

I think the key ebook readers for Apple or Android tend to handle EPUB3 fairly well so you could simply have a relatively cheap tablet with a suitable reader installed that was loaned to students? I use Readera - but many others read EPUB files too.

Subject: EPUB 3 hardware reader
Hello Everyone,
I wondered if anyone was aware of hardware, like the Victor Reader Stream, that is compatible with EPUB 3?
The only equipment I can find, including the Stream are only compatible EPUB 2.
I know there are software readers and apps that work with EPUB 3, but it would be useful to have a hardware based reader we could loan.
Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Martyn.
