amazon?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I don't know much about Guillermo Robles, who filed the suit against 
Domino's, but if you say they have money and connections, I can't 
dispute that.

I think we're talking about more then a few hundred blind people using 
Amazon, but that obviously isn't the point. Some companies want to do 
what's right because it's the right thing to do. It could help with 
advertising and public relations. I'm sure Apple and Microsoft aren't 
committed to accessibility just because it means they're going to add a 
few thousand sales to their bottom line. When companies won't listen is 
when the threat of enforcing the law can make the difference. I'm pretty 
sure the reason we have accessible Kindle's from Amazon is because the 
DoJ said that ereaders used by schools and colleges had to be accessible.

Now, they're so big, they don't care if a few hundred people don't use their site. It's like a four year old trying to box against George Foreman. He's not going to notice much lol.
