Actually before the kindle was not accessible at all. the hardware thing had voice reading turned off by choice of the writer's and publishers guild. Also, there ios app before was not accessible at all. All you saw was the title of the book. I have a podcast of a podcast that was done 2 years ago when kindle was first out. or maybe it was a year and half and the person could not even remotely use the app. as there was nothing to use. and more and more colleges are switching to kindle for their text books so students can take notes in the margins and keep the books and stuff. So in a way amazon has no choice but to make their hardware and software accessible if students are to succeed in the class room. especially since some times a digital copy is all you have. Now let's hope if the kindle has a mac version it can and will one day become accessible.
