I just wanted to say that Sage is the most cooperative publisher when it comes to electronic distribution and ADA accommodation. I like them.

I'd say avoid Sage if at all possible.  They are one of the publishers
involved in this craziness:

Sage is one of the publishers (along with Cambridge and Oxford) suing
a university over copyright infringement and asking for an injunction
that would essentially obliterate fair use at that university.
