Blind Students Get Free Access to Cambridge U. Press Books

Interesting follow on to the lawsuits by the National Federation of Blind students regarding Kindle adoption (see earlier post here) — the Chronicle has a brief story about Blind Students Get[ting] Free Access to Cambridge U. Press books.  A perfect example of how technology and innovation can promote inclusion rather than restrict it — how the mandate for inclusion can drive innovation rather than stifle it.  IMNSHO, this just proves how badly Amazon handled the disability/accessibility  issue in the first place.
