I think figuring that out is basic market research. Why would or should 
Amazon do that any differently for users of accessibility features than 
anything else. Plus I saw someone gushing about using Kindle 2 to read 
in the car. I don't want drivers looking away from the road to do 
soemthing to their Kindle any more than I want drivers looking away for 
any other reason.

Of course I also think little things like the ADA should tip the 
balance too.

Wait.  How does Amazon ever find
out how many of us use products from other companies that are 
accessible.
 I don't ever remember filling out any thing that identified me as
a accessible products user when I bought anything.



Am I missing something here?

Agreed.  Online petitions do so much good anyway.
 But they are cathartic.

Why?



I don't want to be a wet blanket, but Amazon is no stranger to  

knowledge of accessibility, we have accessible digital readers and  

material a plenty so if they don't want us to use their stuff, we  

don't have to.
