Protest
Abraham Lloyd on the Kindle2/Authors Guild demo in NYC
Submitted by James Love on 7. April 2009 - 13:10I am in Montreal right now, and missed the Right Rights Coalition demonstration at the Authors Guild. Manon, Judit and Malini from our office are in NYC at the demonstration, and said it was incredibly moving. Several people at the protest sent reports by tweeter. The most complete was probably Abraham Lloyd. This was his account, with the Tweets organized from his first to last.
Growing Opposition to the Authors’ Guild Request to Remove Text-to-Speech on Kindle2

Reading disabled persons affected by the Authors’ Guild request to remove the text to speech function on Kindle 2 include school children, the elderly, professionals, university students, returning veterans, and yes, your neighbors, family members and friends.
