When I first posted this thread, I thought it was ridiculous that the DOJ was preventing libraries from offering certain eReaders because they weren't accessible to the blind. After reading some of the comments here, I am beginning to be swayed to the other side. If an eReader is available that blind people could use then the library should have it available for blind patrons. Of course, other eReaders are less expensive, so I wouldn't have a problem if libraries bought both. On the other hand, tubemonkey made a pretty good point when he asked why libraries are buying eReaders at all.
