[Promotion-technology] CALIFORNIA TO GO TO E-BOOKS

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Gary:

     I think that we need to devise an application for braille notetakers 
that can read the Kindle files. Perhaps they could be converted to a DAISY 
format, but we need to be able to read these as braille.

Regards,

Robert
