It would be nice if the ARRL would make QST available through the Kindle 
store.

Hello,
Handihams just gives a synopsis of some of the articles.
Bard reads some of the articles but doesn't read Advertisements because it 
is against Federal Law to do so.
Bard also does not read some of the standings for contests.
I do not believe that Hamfest Schedule is read either.
The problem with QST in Digital format is that the platform used to produce 
it is not accessible with screenreaders.
