How does NAWS ensure that literature on tablets remains accessible without cost?

The correct answer is based on the principle that NAWS (Narcotics Anonymous World Services) prioritizes accessibility to its literature without imposing costs on individuals who need it. By not contracting with vendors who charge for free materials, NAWS maintains its commitment to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their financial situation, can access the essential recovery literature on tablets.

This approach reflects the organization's mission to provide resources that support recovery without barriers, particularly in settings such as addiction recovery programs or correctional facilities where access to paid literature may be limited.

In contrast, charging vendors for distribution would introduce a financial barrier that goes against the intent to provide free resources. Providing content only at correctional facilities does not address the broader goal of accessibility for all individuals who may need the literature. Partnering with for-profit companies could potentially complicate the free access mission and lead to financial implications for users, which is counterproductive to NAWS's goals. Thus, the strategy of avoiding contracts with vendors that impose charges aligns best with NAWS's commitment to free accessibility of its literature.
