I can't... I can understand them not selling those readers from the international branches of amazon (.de, co.uk, .fr, etc), but why must I have an American creditcard and an American address before I can order it? Just say it has a warranty until the front door and you're done. Why should they care who orders it from where?

I'm sorry that I keep harping on disability issues on the forum, because I realize that it's probably irritating people, but I am disappointed that a medium with so much potential for accessibility has so few supporters of accessibility.
I'd say if they'd make it truly available for disabled people, they'd have made a keyboard that could have been plugged in instead of those small buttons underneath. And then create several sizes of keyboards. And about text-to-speech, I've never been impressed by that. I'd rather listen to real audio books.
