[Athen] Kindle Accessibility, Renewed!

[Burke, Dan (DSS)]

It's a start, but with authors/publishers still having the option to
turn off tts for their publications, it's not much of a move in the
direction of full access.  Random House, if I'm not mistaken, still has
its entire catalogue turned off?
