Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)

This is a shame, once again people not knowing how to transition to digital media. And something that can help the visually impaired. Although a Braille Kindle would be cool.

David: I don't think the kindle reading will "drastically reduce" jobs, because it is indeed an art form, while the kindle is going to be robotic and can't put the inflections and enunciation that a voice actor can. I too like Real books over the electronic format, but for the visually impaired this can be an easy method to "read" without having to wait for the tape.

Also isn't it odd that you speak of literacy, yet so many blogs are appearing and more and more classes of society have access to computers, which you have to read to use.

John: Being a father of someone who is visually impaired,(she's 15 months) I'm going to say I doubt many visually impaired people who use the web read Downloadsquad. How many programs here cater to any of their needs or would interest them? And you might as well start mild by parking in the "Togo only" spaces and work you way up on the abuse ;)

Glad: I can understand getting angry, but please try to be civil. John was using his style humor to point out that nobody that is visually impaired has evidently spoken up.
