Re: Amazon and Sony Are Requesting That The Accessibility Requirement Be Waved for E-Book Readers

Actually this may demonstrate the difference between a blog and 
real journalism.  The suggestion that a company announced something prior 
to requesting  a waver from having to provide that  something does not hold 
together.  After all, why *must* a person by a tablet if all they want to do 
is read?  Is not that what such simple devices provide the public?  A 
means to do something basic.
I mean you can use a buzz saw to open a can too, but why if there is a 
simple can opener in the drawer?
