[nabs-l] Accessible textbook legislation

[Robert Spangler]

No, what I meant is that, as of now, I purchase my books at the 
bookstore and receive electronic versions on CD, in word format, from 
the office of accessibility.  If I could just pay the publishers 
directly for them to send me the Word files, should it not be cheaper?
