Nan, you once said we need to behave like a market, not a charity. Those words have stayed with me. I happen to have two friends who are marketing professors. Now that some extensive travels have almost ended for me, I hope over the summer to talk to them about how customers can effectively work with companies for improvements.

I have said from the start that we as people with "special needs" need to start behaving like a market. The more of us buy Kindles and make helpful suggestions, not demands, the more incentive there will be for Amazon to keep leading the way with its products. And as i said before, they don't know when we buy their product that we are visually impaired.. and isn't that empowering? Integration.. that's what we are striving for.

I use my Kindle and also Kindle for PC, and both tools have made it possible to read many books that would be much more difficult to read using other methods. The Kindle has done much to close the information gap. Some of us have been sending comments to Amazon in an effort to let them know how useful the Kindle is and in an effort to make sure the Text to Speech function, which Amazon has labeled as "experimental," remains an option. Most books are indeed accessible. True, there is much work to be done on making the Kindle a more efficient reading tool, but waiting until the software gets better is simply a losing game. Why not take the plunge and buy one. I believe Amazon has a liberal refund policy in case you aren't satisfied. If you have question as you evaluate the Kindle, you'll find a supportive--albeit small--group on this list more than willing to offer knowledgeable assistance. I expect Monday's podcast will be worth your attention. Craig_______________________________________________________ Unlimited Disk, Data Transfer, PHP/MySQL Domain Hosting http://www.doteasy.com
