Speaking at the main French book fair
I will be particpating in a panel about accessible online text content and electronic books for people with disabilities at the most important French book fair called the “Salon du Livre” on March 17 from 11h30 to 13h. The audio channel for electronic books is a hot topic right now with all the noise being made by Amazon’s Kindle 2 launch. I think that it speaks for itself that a major player like Amazon is introducing text-to-speech to facilitate access to digital text content and shows that the audio dimension is becoming a must have for many platforms.

Absolutely love reading on the Kindle. The 16 shades of grey are really easy on the eyes. Being able to access the Kindle store at the touch of a button is a really nice feature. I subscribed to the Washington Post which downloads every morning. That alone makes the Kindle worth it. $25 dollars cheaper than getting the post delivered to my door.
Would recommend this to anyone who loves to read or wants to start reading. Makes reading enjoyable and faster.
