David Eberhards thought-provoking altered by critical readers

the Loader has in several places in the talboken added their own questioning comments. He, as previously read in over six hundred books for readers with disabilities, now acknowledges that he has ”gone beyond its powers”. Its actions, he explains, a combination of a ”bad day” and their special knowledge in postmodernism:

" I myself have given out a book that postmodernism as a backdrop, and studied the subject at university for many years. I get provoked sometimes by the light-hearted vulgärtolkningar of the subject. But it was completely wrong of me to read into these comments, he says to DN.

Anne Stigell, senior consultant at MTM, the Agency for accessible media, is the publisher of Eberhards book, takes a strong distance from it occurred:

– It is not allowed to make this type of comments to readers. We have guidelines that very clearly indicates that the content of a book read in may not be changed or be amended. The only thing that is allowed is that if there are diagrams and images that are not commented on in the book so you as readers the opportunity to make a description of these. You may of course also indicate the obvious typographical errors, as Columbus discovered America in 1992, for example.

MTM has now blocked talboken.

" We have also made contact with the subcontractor who read the book to us – where the current loader is – and ordered a new reading by David Eberhards book. We have under our agreements, the right to request it when it is discovered obvious errors in loading, stresses Stigell on MTM.

the Authority provides 125.000 book titles in some sixty languages, and is cooperating with the blindbibliotek around the world. Every year 3,000 new e-books, audio books and books in braille available for the agency's more than about 140,000 borrowers with different disabilities.

At an earlier time there has, as far as we can recall, occurred to a readers have expressed a personal opinion in the loading. Just like in this case: when a new loading of the current book. We have very clear agreements and we assume that they are followed.

the Psychiatrist, author and debater David Eberhard was informed of the critical appendices in his book of a visually impaired reader. Now he is considering taking legal action against the loader.

" this is very upsetting, but I have not decided if I should go ahead with this. This person seems to be some kind of activist, and I have mejlat MTM, and said that they need to take action against him. I understand that it is difficult to control the loading of so many books, but you are wondering if there are other activists who are doing other things.
