Amazon has been consistent in its lack of ethics and proper concern about making its products accessible to us. At the same time, we are using Amazon to help teach people throughout the world that blindness isn’t the problem, but rather the difficulty comes from the attitudes of people and companies like Amazon. I have no problem in using Amazon’s own processes to move us toward the time and place when Amazon will inevitably be forced to change its ways.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Again, thanks to all who purchased a copy of “Thunder Dog” last Saturday.
