Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)

I think you've missed the point. The Kindle 2 presents an opportunity for the print disabled to access hundreds of thousands of books that have previously not been available to them. Imagine how many e-books and Kindles could be sold if they remained completely accessible to the print disabled (who are not just blind people, by the way). Furthermore, does progress occur when people don't "complain" about things that could be better? Is not your comment about an operating system and applications for the Kindle a complaint? And how does wanting equal access to the same information as everyone else make you a nutball? Anyone can go blind, have a spinal cord injury or develop some kind of disability that prevents them from being able to read print. If this were to happen to you, would you still drecry such "complaining?"

For those who are interested in supporting everyone's right to read, the Reading Rights Coalition has set up an on-line petition to urge the Authors Guild and Amazon to reverse course. Please read, sign, and pass along the petition to all your friends and family: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/We-Want-To-Read
