I think that they should receive the exemption. Ereaders supply a resolution for a much, much larger group of partially, visually disabled people as well as those who physically are unable to read because books (even paperbacks) are too heavy. I have a tablet now. I hate it because of its weight. Once I am able to return home to my normal lighting situation, I will sell it. As my BIL (who is blind) said, most blind people in the US already can get a free or reduced cost 'speaking' device. He has to keep turning them down because he has no desire to read (didn't before he lost his sight).
