Now if the school was requiring the blind student to buy a Kindle in addition to the brail book then there would be something to complain about, but that is not what is being argued here.

The only difference would be if the Kindle version of the book in question was the only version available I guess.
But that's still not much different than using a hardcover book that has no braille version available. The school still has to make a braille or audio version for the student in either case.
