Kindle Isn't Accessible to the Blind

It was brought to my attention today that although some books available on Kindle have voice-to-speach capability, blind people can't really use it because there is no audio for the menus. There was a comment about this fact that books aren't accessible either so why should the Kindle be? This must be the kind of ignorance working at Amazon too. The point of moving from old technology (paper books) to new technology (ebooks) is that the new tech is better. Surely in the 21st century, better means more inclusive and more accessible to everyone. To produce a device as sophisticated as Kindle and to not bother making it accessible is just plain laziness.

Get with the program, Amazon!
