No, unfortunately.
It is better to use Kindle on the Amazon Fire or on IOS.

Re: Kindle on Mac

2020-06-19 Thread Phil Halton
I used to use the Kindle plug-in for windows a few years back and it was pretty 
clunky then although it did work to some extent. I don’t bother with Kindle on 
the Mac. It can be OK on the iPhone, but you still can’t read with granularity 
like word by word on the iPhone Kindle app.

Kindle on Mac

Hi all, I am struggling through with Kindle on Mac. I’m currently trying to 
read a PDF book. It took me forever to open the book. The application kept 
wanting to open a different book over & over. Anyway, I’m figuring out 
searching the text and having speech read, but I cannot get VoiceOver to read 
any of the text. Word by word, etc.

Any tips or tricks? Should I have done something to the PDF beforehand?

Re: Kindle for Mac and iOS

   Well Apple sure made it much more difficult to do what was so simple 
in iTunes. But I finally got all my audiobooks in the Books app. And 
after fighting with the sync process. got it done.


   The only thing I do not lie is the audiobooks now live on the 
internal drive instead of the external drive. Progress. :)

Re: Kindle for Mac and iOS

2019-12-12 Thread 'Devin Prater' via MacVisionaries
On the Mac, on Catalina, Kindle is not accessible as far as reading books, 
whereas Apple Books is. On iOS, both are good, but Apple Books shows more 
formatting, like headings.

Hi,

I have been playing and if I use the track pad I can sort of get it to work but 
it is a bit of a faff and not sure if it is worth it unless anyone has any good 
tips or tricks up their sleeves?

Updated Kindle for Mac

2017-06-27 Thread Ian Robinson
Hi All,

A new version of the Kindle software has just been released for the Mac.  It 
looks as though it should work with VoiceOver, but none of my books are showing 
up at the moment.

The book list is now recognised as a table by VoiceOver and there is a Text To 
Speech option in the Tools menu which I don’t remember being there before.

Could someone else please take a look at the latest version and see if it is 
now possible to navigate through a list of books.

Regards.

Ian

Yes, there is an app for the Mac. Now, go find your shocked face, because 
you're gonna need it... Yep, the app is fully inaccessible. It is made up 
of unknown elements across the board, though some preferences can be 
accessed, and of course the dropdown menus work.

Re: kindle for mac? not accessible

2010-12-20 Thread Mike Arrigo
Kindle is not known for accessibility, the new kindle 3 has some accessibility, 
but not everything is useable. Supposedly, amazon is launching a web based 
reader that will allow you to read books using a web browser, but, 
unfortunately, the mac, pc, and phone kindle apps are inaccessible, and I 
agree, there is no excuse for that.
