So in the mean time, how do their visually impaired students read? All their existing text books have braille versions? Or less likely, audio versions? If it's so important to them, take the money that would have been spent on kindles and pay a tutor to read the books out loud. Or boycott the publisher of the books that don't offer braille or audio versions.

Soon we'll see people boycotting GPS devices because they don't allow the visually impaired to drive...
