Kindle for pc with accessibility plug in and kindle keyboard both have some accessibility. If you are happy with being able to read books that have text to speech enabled, but don't care about reviewing line by line, spelling words or names, taking notes and knowing the context once you go back and look at the notes, and you are ok with shopping in the store on your pc or mac, not on the device itself, then Kindle keyboard will have some utility for you. Kindle for pc has the advantage that even books that don't have tts enabled will still work with the accessibility plug in. You must have a screen reader running at the same time, but the books are read by either the Samantha or Tom voices, as they are on Kindle Keyboard. There is absolutely no Kindle accessibility on the Mac or with VO, and the updates to the accessibility for both the keyboard device and the pc plug in have been nominal to nonexistent. Because Kindle store has stuff I can't find anywhere else, I have used both the kindle for pc with plug in and the Kindle Keyboard for straight reading of novels that can be done like you use to read a library of congress talking book tape or record. Just don't plan on efficient navigation or serious interaction with the text.
