Dear Victoria,
I am sorry, I am not familiar with Windows 7. Neither am I all that familiar
with adjusting Internet Explorer.
As I remember you can use the Jaws cursor when you hear the pop-up sound and
move with it to near the top of the screen where there is a place to right
click and allow the pop-up and the download however you would be better to
go through the Security settings of Internet Explorer I think it is near or
at the bottom of the tools Menu. I can't tell you exactly under which tab
but it is in the security settings. Enable pop-ups there before you go to
the Site to download the application.
You might put this out to the general list, I am pretty sure someone will be
used to this sort of problem and be able to give more precise instructions.
Dale Leavens.

Hi Dale, Thank you very much for this notification! I had no idea that
this accessible Kindle software exited.
May be you could help me? When I tried to download it, it was blocked by
my Pop Up blocker.
Do you know how to tell the Windows XP3 Internet Explorer 7, to allow a
download that has been blocked?
Is there any keyboard command we can use, as soon as we hear the "Block"
sound, to continue the download?
Many thanks! Vicky

Here is a new and presumably Jaws accessible application.
I would prefer a fully portable e-book reading device such as my sighted
colleagues have available to them and will probably so inform them, I
don't much fancy sitting at a computer for my recreational reading but
there may be many on this list who will find this of interest and value.
