After all, it means that their books are magically available in large-print.

I wonder, if appropriate, it is worth indicating if you went and bought a different electronic book (from a competing publisher, hopefully). Some might read it and think that you are just going to crack and buy their book, rather than a concrete sale that was lost.

I'm developing an image in my mind best summed up as "Dear (ostridge-like) publisher, I know it looks as if we are trying to strangle you, but we are in fact trying to pull your head out of the sand and point out the heard that is stampeding in your direction..." Not something we would put in the letter!

Once again, congratulations on an excellent and positive suggestion.
Thank you :-)

Great idea on the disability issues there. Readers can be great for those who have reading difficulties.

The reason why the take is: I am searching for a book named "title" by "author" is something tanglible. In that way they can see that we want to buy a product. There is no better incentive than money. Publishers aren't interested in a debate with their customers about their shortcomings. (Who likes to discuss their shortcomings publically?)
