There were several interesting speculations on the types of formats that
Google might be using for its digital library. The New York Times
front-page article was not specific about the technology, software and
formats that will be used, but did state that the mission is to make these
books accessable.

To make sure that the word "accessable" is accurate for us, I think we can
all agree that blind individuals and organizations must get involved with
this project while it is in the very early stages of development. If not,
we may find ourselves dealing with avoidable hassles, when trying to access
the most comprehensive library resource.
