  •  Reading Rights Coalition Announcement
    As you know, the National Federation of the Blind, NFB, is part of the Reading Rights Coalition, along with 29 (and growing) groups that support people with disabilities.  The Reading Rights Coalition has been created to raise awareness about the Authors Guild and to support the 15 million print-disabled people in the US who are effected by their decision to turn off the text-to-speech function on the Kindle 2, stating that it violates copyright law. 

    We are asking everyone to go to the petition Web site at www.thepetitionsite.com/1/We-Want-To-Read, sign the petition, and forward to all of your contacts. 

    We are trying to get 10,000 signatures and are one third of the way there. 

    Please help!
