Justice Department settlement puts on-campus Kindle use on hold
Other manufacturers take note: accessibility options need to be taken more seriously.
I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t think the organizations representing the disabled had a case here (due to the Kindle possessing text-to-speech for all its books), but that’s why I’m not a lawyer! Turns out that while the books can be read out loud, the menus cannot, making it extremely difficult to navigate and use for the blind. So until Amazon adds that functionality, they can’t expand on campus trials of the Kindle DX. Very interesting, indeed.
