NFB Settles with Free Library of Phila

Copyfight 2013-06-05

Summary:

In response to my entry asking for librarians' help in saving blind readers' rights, a Copyfight reader sent me a pointer to this story on the National Federation for the Blind's site. The issue arose because the Free Library was providing patrons with e-books on the Nook reader, which is inaccessible to blind readers. Dear librarians, (locked down) e-readers are a bad idea. Please don't do that.
