Amazon, Federation of the Blind Reach Agreement on Accessibility

After years of questioning the accessibility of Amazon’s Kindle e-reader, the National Federation of the Blind today announced that it will work with the online retailer to improve reading experiences for blind, low-vision, and deaf-blind students.

In a statement, the federation indicated it will “collaborate on improvements to Amazon’s education content, platforms, and applications.” It added that representatives from Amazon and the Baltimore-based federation will meet on an ongoing basis “to review progress and exchange ideas and feedback.”
