It's a couple of Universities telling a large corperation what they need to do to be considered for a large-scale rollout of one of their products. Happens all the time. If as has been suggested the use of the device is mandatory for a course, then the Universitys are very much in the wrong in the way they were using them in the first place and it's a necessary change.

I am going to say again, just because a university requires something for the class, does not mean that this is etched in stone. Anyone who needs an accomodation WILL, repeat WILL, be given one. That means that the blind students don't have to use the Kindle even if it is required for the class.
