[Blindtlk] Fwd: Accessibility announcement

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning Chris and everyone,

    Please read a recent post to the NFB's Access Technology Blog concerning 
the accessibility of the Nook APP. While B&N has taken a step in the right 
direction this APP still does not give accessibility to textbooks. There are 
a number of other accessibility issues you should be aware of before 
pronouncing this app 100% usable. At least B&N has done more concerning the 
accessibility of its E-reading product than Amazon has. I hope we can work 
with all E-Book vendors to insure their products truly are 100% usable by 
the blind. For further details read Clara Vangerven's post at:
