Accessibility

Our commitment to inclusive reading. Last updated July 2026.

Our commitment

TookBooks™ is designed to be usable by as many readers as possible. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and treat accessibility as an ongoing effort rather than a one-time checkbox.

Built-in accessibility features

Full keyboard support

Interactive controls are reachable by keyboard with a visible focus ring, and a 'Skip to main content' link is provided on every page.

Dyslexia-friendly font

Switch to a dyslexia-friendly typeface from your profile settings for easier reading.

High-contrast mode

A high-contrast theme strengthens text and borders for low-vision readers.

Reduced motion / Calm mode

Calm mode minimizes animation, and we also honor your system 'prefers-reduced-motion' setting.

Adjustable text size

Choose from multiple text-size steps so content scales to your comfort.

Semantic, labelled UI

Landmarks, alt text on images, and ARIA labels help screen readers announce the page clearly.

How to turn features on

Most preferences live under your Profile settings and are saved to your account, so they follow you across devices. System-level settings such as reduced motion are detected automatically.

Known limitations

Some book data and cover images come from third parties (for example Open Library) and may occasionally lack complete descriptions. We are continually improving these areas.
