I didn't post in the thread in which many people debate about kindle and the blind because there were some guys (WT Sharpe and someone whose nickname I forget) who summed up the issue so well. I totally agree with them.
But I'll tell what I think about windslash's question: I didn't see the point why a company can be sued, or blamed if its product is not available for the disabled. Alright, I know every company should think of every customer, and the disabled have the rights to do all the things a human being can do, they should be equipped and helped in many ways. But I don't think they would blame the technology which is not useful for them, at least in such a furious way as we think they would. and I doubt that the market for the disabled is that large - I myself have only seen 2 or 3 deaf people and they didn't even want to use ereader or computer or drive car or use ATM, whatever we usually think they should want to do. Which is another reason why those companies don't want to aim their products at the disabled.
I mean no offense, I'm not the bad guy, I donate and do the volunteer works. Just wonder why you still seem so unrest at the issue.
