Re: [AI] Regarding accessibility of kindle devices and content

2023-03-22 Thread Aparna Sachdev 
Hello
I've also been considering a Kindle device off and on for a long time now,
but haven't taken the plunge yet. VoiceDream does fine for me, so far. I
had a couple of questions though, which I'd be happy to have your help with:

   - The adapter you mentioned using with your PaperWhite: what is that
   like? I think of it like one of those dongles you use with wireless
   keyboards - how close to the actual thing (or not!) am I with that? Is it
   convenient to keep track of?
   - In terms of granular navigation, how responsive do you find VoiceView
   to be? If you're doing a read-all, for example, and you want to navigate to
   a particular sentence/word and take a look at it again, is the response
   time alright when you change granularity? Does it happen as quickly as you
   want it to/as quickly as you can move your fingers in the required
   gestures? (I've tried out VoiceView on an Echo Show, and I find it a bit
   laggy. Is that true for the Kindle as well?)
   - Possibilities of an external keyboard: do they have VoiceView-specific
   keyboard commands, if you were to connect an external keyboard to the
   Kindle? Also, when you say the highlight and annotation features aren't
   accessible, would that be true for an external keyboard as well (provided
   there are specified keyboard commands for actions), or is it a focus issue
   (i.e. VoiceView focus just doesn't go to those options)?


Also, an aside to people who use VoiceDream Reader: can you get highlights
and annotations to work with VoiceOver? From what I remember reading, that
functionality isn't available to VoiceOver users because text selection
doesn't work as expected within the app, and there are no app-specific
gestures for that either. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I'd really like
to be wrong here. Do let me know if there's any way to highlight and/or
annotate things.

Thanks in advance, Tony, and  I look forward to responses from others as
well who might have anything to share.
Cheers,
Aparna

Hello,
Responding to a few queries here.
1.  Why do we need a separate Kindle devise? Well, this is purely a
choice. For people who wish to read uninterrupted, Kindle is a great
choice. With shortening attention span, using Kindle is a way for
reading without distraction.
2.  Braille display?  Refer the following link.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201829370#:~:text=Press%20the%20Power%20button%20until,tap%20Pair%20Bluetooth%20Braille%20Display.
3.  Kindle unlimited? You don’t need a kindle unlimited subscription to
use Kindle devise. Almost all books on Kindle unlimited can be
downloaded from pirate or torrent websites. Well, sorry for mentioning
piracy here, I am a believer in copy left more than copy right.
4.  You need to separately buy those books which are not included in
kindle unlimited.
5.  You don’t have to convert Kindle books to epub, Kindle books are
super accessible within Kindle devises. On the other hand, if you have
a PDF book downloaded from a pirate website, you can convert it in to
epub and read on kindle devise.
More than happy to connect on this over phone. My contact is 84519 76069.

TK

Hi! I also have some queries regarding Kindle devices. First, I am interested to use Kindle with braille displays, please tell which Kindle device is compatible Wich can be connected with Any Braille display and its books can be access in Braille? Second thing, if we buy any Kindle device, do we also need to subscribe kindle unlimited separately,  for reading Kindle unlimited books, or we can read all books without the subscription in Kindle device? Third, I know that not all books are included  in the Kindle unlimited subscription, some books are needed to be purchased separately. Do we also need to purchase those separately in Kindle device? Lastly, can we definitely convert kindle books to epub with Kindle device for our convenience? Thanks and regards Aman Preet Singh.Sent from my iPhoneOn 20-Mar-2023, at 10:48 PM, rahul agarwal  wrote:hi tony,i want to buy a kindle fire hd tab. i am from india. if you don't mind, please provide your contact details. On Wed, Mar 8, 2023 at 8:16 AM Tony Kurian  wrote:Hello,

I am not sure about the accessibility of basic kindle devise. Kindle
paper white is accessible. However, you will have to purchase a
separate audio adapter for this. this is because Kindle paper white
does not have a head phone jack or speaker. Ones you plug in the audio
adapter, Voiceview screen reader will start functioning. Note:
functionalities such as note taking, colour marking, annotating etc
are not available when you use Voiceview on kindle paper white.
If you are interested in using Kindle devises, the best solution is
buying Kindle fire HD tablet. I could not find this devise on Amazon
India.you can get this devise from amazon.com and it cost less than
100$. During black Friday, you get this for 45$ or so. do connect with
me offline if you are exercising this option as there are a couple of
minor caveats to follow.
Finally, rather than converting kindle books in to other formats, the
best way to use kindle devices is by converting all books in to epub
and reading them on kindle. It is super portable and you can take
notes etc if you are on kindle fire tab. You can also sink your notes
to kindle pc.
I hope this has been of help. Feel free to write to me if you have any
other clarifications.

Re: [AI] Regarding accessibility of kindle devices and content

2023-03-07 Thread Tony Kurian 
Hello,
I am a user of Kindle devises for few years now. here is some
information which I hope will be of help for you.
I am not sure about the accessibility of basic kindle devise. Kindle
paper white is accessible. However, you will have to purchase a
separate audio adapter for this. this is because Kindle paper white
does not have a head phone jack or speaker. Ones you plug in the audio
adapter, Voiceview screen reader will start functioning. Note:
functionalities such as note taking, colour marking, annotating etc
are not available when you use Voiceview on kindle paper white.
If you are interested in using Kindle devises, the best solution is
buying Kindle fire HD tablet. I could not find this devise on Amazon
India.you can get this devise from amazon.com and it cost less than
100$. During black Friday, you get this for 45$ or so. do connect with
me offline if you are exercising this option as there are a couple of
minor caveats to follow.
Finally, rather than converting kindle books in to other formats, the
best way to use kindle devices is by converting all books in to epub
and reading them on kindle. It is super portable and you can take
notes etc if you are on kindle fire tab. You can also sink your notes
to kindle pc.
I hope this has been of help. Feel free to write to me if you have any
other clarifications.
Cheers,
Tony

Dear Avichal,

You cannot convert the majority of kindle books to other formats due to digital 
rights management.

The conversion programs that other list members have mentioned do work but you 
will need to break the digital rights management protection first which is 
illegal.

Re: [AI] Regarding accessibility of kindle devices and content

2023-03-07 Thread pavan kallem 
hi Prof  Avichal,
Thank you for your email and for your interest in Kindle devices sold
by Amazon. As far as accessibility is concerned, Amazon has made
efforts to ensure that its devices are fully accessible to all users.
Kindle devices offer audio support for most functions, which makes
them suitable for use by people with visual impairments.
Regarding your query about the latest version of Kindle for PC, it is
fully accessible with JAWS, which makes it easier for visually
impaired users to navigate and interact with the software.
Regarding your query on converting Kindle books to other formats such
as pdf, there are several options available. You can use a software
program like Calibre to convert your Kindle books into various formats
including PDF, EPUB, and MOBI.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please let me know if you
have any further queries or concerns.
Best regards,
