That's a contradiction, albeit surely an unintentional one. Only electronic text is fully and automatically accessible to the blind, visually impaired, and dyslexic. I assume that in this context, "accessible to all" is intended to mean that it's accessible to people without computers. How big a problem is that these days?
- pharrington 3y agoNot to mention the $1000+ price tag, and it taking up a ton of physical space. Print encyclopedias are definitely a luxury.
- humanistbot 3y agoAlso, this encyclopedia is only accessible to those who pay $1200, who can only access it if they are physically in the room where the buyer has installed it. That's not accessible in my view.
