See, the thing about Audible (great though it is) is that it only works for books that have actually been read at some point by someone onto an audiobook. This is just a regular, you know, book, book book, I ordered fro mamazon, and it will open but not 4 me! It just shows up as blank with no text. I mean, they deliberately went to the "make the shit work for blind people" and unchecked it. It's exactly like saying "There's a possibility that you might screen-capture every page, put it in a zipfile, and then fileshare it so we're just going to make sure that you can't look at htis book you bought!" Motherfucker--it is the same. Exact. Thing. But they leave it open for sited people, and close it off for the blind, why? Because we represent like .3% of the market share. *FUCK. THAT. *SHIT.**
