Hi.
There are many ways to access Epubs in windows. To convert them, try Calibre
http://calibre-ebook.com/
Note that though Calibre is not itself accessible, at least with Jaws,
the ebook-convert command line tool is quite easily usable
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html
You can also read the Epub directly with several packages, the one
that pops first to mind is
http://q-continuum.net/qread/
and there are some plug-ins for Firefox which will also read them
http://www.epubread.com/en/
Keep in mind that Epub files are just zip files, if you add the .zip
extension, then go into the file with the zip folders function of
windows, or extract the zip file with your favourite zip utility, you
will be able to read the HTML files with your browser like any other
HTML file.
I hope that's of use.
Aman
