so books are not accessible: kindles are better
- kibwen 2y agoI'm unclear if this was intended to be sarcastic, but it's certainly possible for e-readers to be more accessible than books, at least for models that actually have physical buttons (and especially considering that e-readers can have zoomable text).
- dotancohen 2y agoI am actually reading this on an e-reader. I find it more accessible than either my phone or my desktop. And easier on the eyes.
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoAs far as I can tell, none of the current Kindle models have physical page turn buttons anymore, which is insane to me. Turning the page is the main thing I do on an ebook, having a button on the side is so much more convenient than touching the screen, I don't obscure what I'm looking at, and I don't smudge the screen.
- kridsdale3 2y agoThe BOOX Palma is an e-ink Android device (not a phone) that I run the Kindle app on. It has physical page buttons, and is better than any of the Kindle devices I've used. Also tunable ink speed and color temperature.
- freedomben 2y agoMaybe not accessible in the a11y sense, but definitely accessible in the "can read without DRM" sense. I'll take a book I can keep and read whenever and however I want to one that has to phone home and ask a giant corporation if it's ok.
