Earlier today I posted the following as a reply and forgot to send to entire group. That probably explains why I still don't see it here.  Please excuse reposting if I did. 

"I haven't read all of the postings on this topic but have read many and 
would like to offer a couple of comments.

1.  For many years, like other magazine publishers The ARRL has granted 
permission to have QST available for us free of charge on our State Library for the Blind.  While it is later 
in becoming available, it is free.  Our dues for membership in The 
Organization without receiving QRZ are less than 1/3  the charge for 
regulars and yet we have access to The Magazine in a few weeks. Of course, 
we don't have access to the ads and those do provide useful information yet 
we don't know the degree of access we will have to them in the digital 
version.

3.  I am a strong advocate for accessibility but think we should first see 
what the new format will allow us to read and if needed, proceed in an 
advisory capacity, not in a hostile way. And, we should expect to pay 
regular dues  membership if the digital magazine is made available for us as 
a part of that membership."
