Bug#883867: bookworm for accessibility

[hjenkins <hjenkins@uvic.ca>]

May apologies; I've gotten two different software packages with the same 
name confused.

The one with the reviews is GPL3 Bookworm 1.1.2 by Siddhartha Das, in 
Vala. It was originally made for elementaryOS, a Ubuntu derivative.

The one with an accessibility emphasis is for Windows, and it is the MIT 
Bookworm v0.1b4 by Musharraf Omer, in Python


Thank you, Paul, I had not heard of ebook-speaker! I had come across 
daisy-player, so I'm not sure why I hadn't. Useful information.
