> WGBH's National Center for Accessible Media Awarded Grant to > Develop Access Solutions for Multimedia in E-Books One issue I didn't notice in this is that the growth of e-books is actually based on technology to prevent sharing and copying. Something similar happens with talking books for the blind in the UK; non-standard tape machines are used, so that sighted users cannot take advantage of such free audio books. (As a non-accessibility issue, I have been put off by e-books by the fact that their pricing does not reflect that they are only legally usable by one person, but is comparable with that of the printed books.)
