Department of Justice Takes On Kindle On Campus
The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education are taking on eReaders in universities, claiming that the Kindle DX may violate the “Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990” and Section 504 of the “Rehabilitation Act of 1973” in the classroom, because the eReaders are not designed for students that are blind or have low vision abilities.
