I'm not a fan of lobbying through such organizations and bludgeoning people into accessibility personally. I'd be open to the idea of a petition or something. That would just raise the awareness level, and let them know how many people are actually interested in the issue. there are lots of ways I can get books. Chapters website is getting fairly good for mp3 cd's and I can always put in an audiobookstand order. Plus there's books in motion and audiobooks.com which have nowhere near a decent selection but aren't useless either. Then there is my local library which fills a bit of the gap. It'd be nice to access emusic, but since I have the option to take my dollars elsewhere, I'd rather do that than force myself needlessly on a company that really has no desire for my business. That's the beauty of democracy.
On the other hand, if they are just clueless and would be willing to work with us once we raise our voices and they see how many of us there are, then we owe it to them to at least try.
