If a live person reads it to you, it would be very difficult to copy and
distribute the reading, but if you get the read from a synthesized book,
you could send it to other readers.
I guess that's authors' reasoning.

Their was a movement several years ago about a rally against the Authors Gild
since they were mandating that not all authors should be made to make their
books with Audio. Hence this is the result of the authors guild still not
fixing it

Subject: Kindle Books, not all have audio!
I was very excited when I successfully installed and used the Kindle P PC
software. I read some of the three books that come pre-loaded. I was able to
do that just fine.
I then bought a Kindle book, a 2014 copyright date. It showed up on my Kindle
software. I went to read it, and got no speech. I called Amazon, and found
that not all Kindle books, even new ones, have the audio. There is nothing to
warn a blind purchaser that they are buying a print only version. When I
called Amazon, they confirmed the book I had purchased had no audio. The rep
said the only way to tell is that when you are in your shopping cart, there is
apparently a separate button to buy the version with audio included. I told
him Amazon should put up a warning, since the absence of an audio version
button would not warn someone like me who assumed all new Kindle books came
with the audio included.
So, excitement is all gone. Amazon did of course refund my money, and said to
check back every couple of weeks to see if the seller had responded yet to
Amazon's request to add an audio version. Oh well.

Thanks for posting this useful information, but it leaves a question. If this
Kindle comes with its own two voices, why is JAWS needed? Or put another way,
are you saying we can ignore Amazon's voices and work just with JAWS? That's
what I'd want.

Yes there is a Kindle version with built in JAWS accessibility. It's called
Kindle_for_PC with JAWS screenreader plug-in already installed in it.
JAWS works pretty well with it. Call Amazon Cust Support and ask for the
Kindle_for_PC with JAWS screenreader plug-in download. They will assist with
getting everything onto your computer and stay with you until you get it up and
running.
Be ware the Kindle speech synthesizer has only two voices, Male and female.
Neither is very good and understanding what is written sometimes takes a little
time. But overall it does work fairly well with JAWS.

Well, the Kindle player for Windows should let you access it, though I don't
know how accessible that application is. Anyone got any experience with it?

Subject: Accessible method of converting Kindle book?
I want to read a book that so far as I can tell, is available only in
print or Kindle. It is a 2014 copyright date. Is there any method,
accessible with JAWS, by which I can purchase the Kindle version, and
convert it to some file I can access?
