Too costly? Well, filing taxes and marketing product is costly too. I
say, this is where we begin the fight for full accessibility for all
devices marketed in the USA. Where are the gains we were supposed to

 The Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act
of 2010 requires companies who make electronic devices to make them
accessible to people with disabilities. At this time, none of the
e-book readers that are on the market meet this requirement. Amazon,
Kobo, and Sony have submitted a petition to the FCC asking for a
waiver claiming it would be too expensive to make their e-book readers
accessible:
