It's about time they came to the party. We all know how resistant Amazon has been to making their services accessible to us. Forgive my conspiracy theory attitude, there had to be some pressure from somewhere other than the blind community as a whole. We as a community have managed through constructive action & dialog to gain accessibility in many areas other than Amazon's services & devices. I have cautious optimism that it is a new beginning for Amazon & accessibility.
