<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As many of you know, the NFB is organizing a protest of the
Author’s Guild in New York on Tuesday, April 7, from 12-2 PM. This
protest is in response to the refusal of many authors to sell their books on
Amazon.com to be played using Text to Speech software included with the new
book reader, the Kindle 2. In order to show the authors the importance of
this issue, we need a very strong showing for this protest. Buses will
leave the National Center on the seventh at 7 AM, and will return at approximately
7 PM. Spouses, significant others, siblings, children, etc. are all
welcome! Again, we need to have a strong showing because we want access
to books now and in the future. If you can attend this event please get
in touch with Anne-Marie Laney. She can be reached at 410-659-9314 ext.
2219, or via email at <a href="mailto:alaney@nfb.org">alaney@nfb.org</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please also let me know if you are going. Make sure to
let Anne-Marie know if you are bringing anyone with you, as she will need that
information to insure we have enough seats on the bus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I hope to see many of you on the seventh!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Melissa<o:p></o:p></p>
