Hello Gene, I don't care how amazon makes its product line accessible. Whether they use something proprietary, work with the features of android, or pull a rabbit out of a hat, it doesn't matter, as long as they *do* it. I know there are some who would disagree with me, but I paid good money for my kindle and want to be able to use every feature, not just the ones that amazon haphazardly implements without springboarding in to improving it. I also should point out that not everyone has an apple product. And, this probably is stating the obvious, but the demonstration was not about just making something accessible. It was about the fact that kindles are being deployed in to the classroom. Students are using them in lieu of hardcopy textbooks, which makes sense fiscally. I would never suggest a kindle in its current form to be used for educational purposes. Reading navigation is the main reason. There is no *simple* way of tracking word by word, or line by line, and to some extent, page by page. If Amazon wants to put that product in the classroom, then they have a responsibility to make certain that it is delivering as accessible a product as possible. We really haven't heard much about improvements in three or so years. Even the newest improvements for the Fire don't work very well and cannot be turned on independently. I would hope that all of us, whether we would use certain features or not, could come together and agree that improvements need to be made. I am not in the NFB, but this is a very important issue to me and while I think that the protest may have been a little premature, it showed that people did care about the issue at hand and some people need to wake up and take notice. As for your original question, there was a campaign on Applevis to write to amazon regarding the inaccessibility of their ap. I would hope that with an accessible iBooks ap and now the Nook, that Amazon would wake up and really take notice. I'm tired of the 'well, it isn't a good decision for them economically' excuse that we get from other blind people, and I'm really tired of the attitude that if we push, then amazon will take what little accessibility out of their products because of the mean, pushy blind people. The Washington Council of the Blind wrote a letter to Amazon as well, and while we were polite, our letter was firm. So here is to a hopeful expectancy of accessibility improvements for next year, but if it doesn't work, or it is half-baked, then here is to pushing them a little harder. Warmly, Meka
