Recent datepicker experience:
1. Control is presented as three separate spin controls, supporting the Up/Down Arrow keys to increment and decrement the value as well as manual typing. But because they're not text inputs, I can't use the Left/Right Arrow keys to review what each separate one contains, only to move between day, month, and year.
2. I tab to year.
3. I press Down Arrow, and the value is set to 2075. I'm unclear how many use cases require the year to be frequently set to 2075, but I can't imagine it's many so this seems like a fairly ridiculous starting point.
4. I press Up Arrow, and the value gets set to 0001. The number of applications for which 0001 is a valid year is likewise vanishingly small.
5. I delete the 0001, at which point my #screenReader reports that the current value is "0". Also not a valid year.
6. Out of curiosity, I inspect the element to see which third-party component is being used to create this mess... only to find that it's a native `<input>` with `type="date"` and this is just how Google Chrome presents it.
A good reminder that #HTML is not always the most #accessible or user-friendly.

forgive me if i’m not quite clear about what you are asking… as a sighted person i don’t understand how braille readers work. but it might help to provide more detail (if not, please just ignore me)
do you have trouble “reading” non-braille books and documents stored in the apple book library application, OR
do you have trouble loading non-braille books and documents into the apple book library function? OR
do you have trouble loading braille books and documents, and is there a particular brand of braille equipment or software you are using?
Anyone know of a good #accessible e-book-reader for IOS and IPadOS, which can load books and documents other than apple-books?
I'd like to use my braille-display in combination with my IPad for reading books and documents in braille.
