Here's some of what the Center for Accessible Publishing has done in
the past:

It sounds like this organization's livelihood is threatened by easy
access to electronic books, since it exists to be THE source for
college students to get books, through cooperation with publishers
and protecting their bottom lines at all costs. Bookshare, RFB&D,
and even NLS interfere with the organization because publishers don't
receive a dime for books accessed in these ways.
