Gary, Craig, Carol, and Other Kindle and WE Users -
I anticipated the unfortunate replies I received. I will send Kindle a detailed list of improvements that could greatly enhance performance of Kindle for PC for blind users. I certainly hope that Amazon will read the suggestions as coming from potential CUSTOMERS! I'm no programmer, but enabling the software to use better speech synthesis and to perform functions anyone reading a book would expect to use doesn't seem to be unreasonable expectation. Thanks for the confirmation that I haven't just missed something in working with Kindle with WE. Blessings for Easter and Passover - Ed Culpepper ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary King" <[email protected]> To: "GW-Info" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Kindle for PC with WE 7.5.4 Ed, Currently, I don't think there is a way to do any of the things with Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plug-In that you want to do because of limitations in the program. I may have missed something, and if so, I would like to be corrected. I think the program could definitely be improved to allow blind users to access the same features that sighted users can. Folks who feel the same way should go to the Kindle for PC support page and suggest needed improvements.

I can execute all of the basic controls to download, synch, read, and manage books, and to toggle voices, change rates, and continuous/page-by-page reading. I am interested in whether anyone knows how to read word-by-word or by character (to check word spelling). I also would like to know how to find page numbers corresponding to print editions (not positions within the book file). Finally, is it possible to cut and paste or to copy text from the Kindle book for making notes or saving quotations? Kindle for PC certainly could be improved - such as expanding available voices or improving their quality - but being able to read e-books on my notebook is wonderful. I hope some more adept users have figured out and will share methods to maximize the use of Kindle for PC with WE. Thanks - Ed Culpepper J.
