[stylist] [SPAM] Re: the new kendle

[Brenda]

The first thing a friend of mine told me when I said I wanted to develop 
my writing was that maybe I could write an e-book and that there are 
lots of neat books on the Kindle.  She feels uncomfortable when I say 
anything related to blindness so I doubt she would quit reading their 
e-books.  I have a feeling many people are like her in that if something 
does not effect them directly they don't feel a need to act.

I think the kindle has a program you can use from your computer to read 
(and maybe publish to) their books, so that is probably an acceptable 
solution for the average person.  So if a blind reader/writer has a 
laptop or netbook, they have a bit of portability.  Not saying I agree 
with it but because of the computer program Kindle and its supporters 
may feel they have accommodated us.
