Rick,
Have you had any experience with reading? I vaguely remember a podcast a
while back that suggested that it was pretty hard to navigate. I'm not sure
there's any real advantage for us with the Kindle app as for the sighted
user, and with initiatives like BARD it seems unlikely that Amazon will have
any real incentive to make the Kindle itself accessible.

Hi Mark,
You've got to just use your web browser and goto amazon's kindle store then
purchase the book outside the kindle app.
Then because your kindle app is associated with your amazon account you can
tell the store via the web to send it to your kindle app. I can't remember
if you can do a sync from within the kindle app or not.
Thanks

Hi
There was a link going around where one could down load a screen reader
friendly version. I installed it, and it worked alright on the free down
load books. However, I could never get it to complete the process to buy a
book.
God bless,
Mark
God Loves you!

Subject: [Blind-Computing] accessibility of Kindle
Hi everyone,
Just wondering about the current state of accessibility of the Kindle app.
Is there any way to read a Kindle book within JAWS or convert it for use
with an OCR? I assume not but thought it was worth asking. Thanks.
Susan
