Some do, some don't.

For instance, even when marked as being accessible kindle books require that jaws or some other recognized screen reader be running in order for the accessible kindle app to operate in accessible mode (although since one of the recognized readers is free this isn't much of a limitation) but even then the app does not actually use the recognized screen reader for voice output (instead the app has a couple voices embedded and uses those). With PDF again it is up to the publisher but at least there it is the user's screen reader that will be used to read the content. I can't speak for other e-book formats.

disability you can have a $50.00 subscription per year and you can download up to 100 books in a Braille ready formatt or through various other outputs. Right now that's the only way I get e-books and they have most major title. Personally I like to call bookshare.org a kind of net flix for the blind because of their accessability to so many choices instantly. And you don't have to pay for each download.

Another option is Blio. Both its Windows and iOS apps are fully accessible.

The down side, however, is that it's library is small compared with other mainstream e-book stores like Kindle.
