? No, the problem was that the only version of the course material avaliable was on the Kindles.

Most academic institutions are set up to provide all course material in large print/braile/audio formats if necessary, it's just not really possible for there to be unaided reading on the K2 right now, so it breaks that chain. Their actions in not using them for courses are quite reasonable.
