True, but the publishers would not allow us to read their copyrighted books
if they were made availablwe to people world-wide. But the Canadians get us
back: U.S. citizens cannot access CNIB digital books either. Nor can we
access RNIB digital books. I would love to be able to access those also.
But I'm not allowed. So "discrimination" works both ways.
