I wrote to Random House to protest that they limit copying of the book. Maybe I will see if I can find the author's email. It is really putting a crimp in my writing since I am just two days from finishing the first draft of the book and am having a devil of a time finding what I need in the Kindle for PC version. I am finding the flow of the Battles of Contreors and Cherebusxo hard to follow. I can tell you all that as an author I know why some books get those limitations, including a book not being accessible by text to speech. Some publishers are absolutely convinced we want to steal their books and sell them as our own publications. The sad thing is that this is possible. All we can do as blind people is convince people not to buy books from pirate sites. Believe me, I don't want my books stolen and sold with no recompense for me. I just don't think there is much I can do about it and to rob blind people of the books is just plain wrong. The thing is that pirates will get ahold of books no matter what you do. With the proliferation of scanners that convert books to text, it can be done no matter what.. and if the book is taken from the library it will not cost the pirate a thing. So we just need to make it very clear to publishers that we are out here and deserve a chance. I suppose if we gathered together and boycotted he publishers that do this we could have an impact, but then the pirates probably buy the print copy or the text to speech copy and sell it anyway... and we tend not to pay for books so why cater to us?
