Hi All

I think this might be OT but I am posting here anyway. I have a number
of friends who are authors and whose books I would love to read. But I
understand why people dislike Amazon. I might want to read in some
e-reader format but I do not want to have to go explain for each
different situation how the authors can make their content accessible
through regular commercial channels so I can recommend their books
equally to blind and sighted friends and have a reasonable expectation
that the authors will get paid fairly and that my blind friends will be
able to access the content on the same terms as sighted people.

Does anyone know of any concise up to date guidelines about choices as
far as doing that?

I mean, I know I have a rich fantasy life but does anyone have any 
suggestions?

THANKS
