[Electronics-talk] E-Readers

[Chris Nusbaum]

Good idea! I forgot about that Monitor article.  I haven't 
received the January issue yet (I get it in hardcopy Braille,) 
but I did read that article title from the issue posted to the 
NFB site.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

 Uh, well of course you've got the Stream, BookPort, and the 
other eReaders
 specially designed for the blind.  But as far as mainstream 
eReaders, the
 only one I know of that is accessible is the iPad.  The Kindle 
and Nook
 both are inaccessible.

 I think this topic has been discussed before, however I don't 
remember
 what
 was said.
 Which E-Reader offers the most user-friendliness for a total?
