K Tempest Tumbles

I'm K. Tempest Bradford, a writer, blogger, tech geek, and all around nerd. I'm such a big science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction fan that I even write it (I know, pretty hard core!).

I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

alexandraerin: aramblingwriter: alexandraerin: moniquill: Ahem. Books? Are NOT compatible with all hands/eyes. Accessibility issues in terms of changing text size, changing font, changing page color and text color, having a screenreader incorporated and having images described are some of the REALLY SERIOUSLY VALID points That I’ve heard made concerning E readers and their advantages. Can we stop having a pissing contest about books vs e readers and accept that they are two different and equally valid delivery methods of text, suitable for very different applications that happen to have a wide overlap? Each have their advantages and disadvantages and one need not supplant the other? THE THING I LIKE BEST IS THE SUPERIOR CHOICE FOR EVERYONE. Somewhere, a bard is whining about how the printed word will bring about the end of all knowledge.  The oral tradition is the death of creativity!
