Oh, I absolutely agree! It’s not just that…even people who can certify a disability and get a free accessible edition may simply find it easier and more pleasant to buy the book and share that with other people on the account who don’t have the same challenges. That results in more sales.

However, I can also see not wanting to push…if she just didn’t want to talk about it (which I think is partially the same situation with Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird), if I was the publisher, I might back off as well. Might be tough to explain to shareholders, though…

I notice there’s not even a button to click to let the publisher know you’d like to see the book in Kindle format.
