Yes the blind will need assistance in order to stand a chance of simply receiving the same standard of education as a sighted person. For a university to then actively give an added advantage to sighted students, without any attempt at giving any sort of comparable tool to the blind is simply illegal under Anti-Discrimination laws.

Are you changing your mind then?
"to then actively give an added advantage to sighted students....".
Seems EVIL to me.

"So what would have happened if the newly formed "Apple Computing Company" had been shut down for not creating a computer useable by the blind?"
"Has any company been shut down here?"
I'm sorry, did I say someone was shut down?
"So what would have happened...."

Let's see, now:
Amazon got whatever publicity benefit they were going to get during the DX launch; they learned what they needed to learn about the higher-ed market, and they save a bit of cash.
And nobody will ever again dare *give* an ebook reader to students even as a test.
But the lawyers got paid nicely.

Yes, more greed and plotting by the EVIL Amazon company.

Do you really see no hatred for big companies?

Ok. You don't want the "sighted" students to have the use of the Kindle DX (even just in a study) if a blind, or legally blind, person can't use it.
Ok. What about lined notebooks for writing class notes in? Take them away too?
Let loose the callow youth....
