I'm going to disagree...
This is actually a pretty slick move by Amazon. The Author's Guild wanted them to cave and buy them off. Amazon isn't giving them more money - they're handing them the rope the ADA & public opinion will hang them with. Once the mythical AI supercomputer is built that can perfectly understand & read literature (and fit in a 1/3" device) - they can exercise their power. Until then... the first publisher with the balls to flag their content is a greedy company that hates disabled people (at least, that's how it will look).
