No one has ever suggested that this function be denied to people with disabilities. (I think you meant people with sight problems, not hearing problems.) I don't know exactly what is required for blind people to have access to special books, but whatever it is, there's no reason such a permissions system couldn't be used for the Kindle, also. And I agree--the K2 could be a real boon to them.
