Maybe They Should Have Used the Nook

Apparently using the Kindle at college is a violation of the civil rights of blind people. Who'd a thunk it? When did we get to the point where letting people who didn't have a disability access technology meant that we were automatically discriminating against people who did have the disability? Was the plan to eliminate textbooks written in Braille? Is there some arcane rule that all books published in e-book format are automatically prohibited from the ranks of all other formats? Pretty sure there isn't but hey, I was wrong once so I suppose there's a possibility, however remote, that it could happen again.
