I'd have to go back through the thread to see if anyone was really concerned about that, but I didn't pay any heed to comments about accessibility. There was never any doubt in my mind that it would be available through various adaptive means as books have for decades before Kindle and Nook and Audible.
In fact, in the "blind Bantu" stuff above, I wasn't thinking in terms of accessibility. I just read "braille-Swahili" as a stand in for "someone's format of choice."
I thought it was clear that King was speaking of the recreational, voluntary ebook consumer.
