Perhaps it would be an idea to approach HiSoft with a proposal to do the CD version. I'm sure that they would see the business benefit of offering something along those lines. I have to agree with chaals though, copyright infringement is not good... -----Original Message----- From: David Poehlman [mailto:poehlman1@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 13:28 To: wai-ig list Subject: charles points out correctly:Fw: Published work on Accessibility available ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles McCathieNevile" <charles@w3.org> To: "David Poehlman" <poehlman1@comcast.net> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 8:15 AM Subject: Re: Published work on Accessibility available That would be a deliberate breach of copyright, and of the agreement you made to download the book. You should wait until you have permission before offering stuff like that... cheers Chaals On Thu, 28 Mar 2002, David Poehlman wrote: msreader if you use windows and a sound card is quite good. The book is well structured so if you can take advantage of the latest acrobat reader, you can also use it there. I too however in the spirit of better coverage and more universal access would like to see the book made available in a form such as html. I'll be happy to make a tape and someone can put it on cd of the msreader voice reading the book. ----- Original Message ----- From: "SHARPE, Ian" <Ian.SHARPE@cambridge.sema.slb.com> To: "WAI (E-mail)" <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 6:19 AM Subject: RE: Published work on Accessibility available How about offering the eBook in a more accessible format? eBooks aren't good and PDF only marginally better for us blind types.
