[stylist] Kindle accessibility

[LoriStay at aol.com]

Books put on tape for the blind (special format) do not compensate the 
author.
The idea of Kindle would be to make books accessible to blind readers who 
wouldn't buy books otherwise.   Having books read aloud in a computer voice 
is not the same as an audio book read by the author or a professional actor.  
 But nevertheless, the point is that the person would buy the book first 
before reading it in any manner.   So how is that not compensating the author?
