Most blind people have some usable vision, and many blind people can read large print. Doing things like making ereader navigation accessible via larger print menus can be a very useful step in making eink devices more accessible to blind folks.

This really isn't the most convincing argument. Lots of D/deaf folks listen to music, and horse-riding can be accessible to amputees (and plenty of other people with physical disabilities) with adaptive equipment.
Maybe you need to know a little more about disabled people and accessibility before forming such definite opinion about us?
