Thanks for sharing this info.
Well I do enjoy listening to some audio books on my Kindle, but most
of the NY Times Bestsellers aren't released in audio book. The
voiceover feature allows me to listen to them, without having to wait
4 - 6 months for an audio book.
Haven't come across an ebook or magazine that has disabled this
voiceover feature (I buy everything through amazon,) but if I do, you
best believe the author will get an ear full from me.

Hi. I don't know much about this product at all and don't possess one and
don't plan to but I did hear a report on a BBC radio programme that was
aimed at the blind. It seems that more and more authors are not allowing
their eBooks to carry voice over and the reason seems to be, these same
authors make a load of money from audio books and if the voice over facility
was available on eBooks then they would lose out on sales of audio books.
Before you decide to invest I would suggest you go to the Amazon's site and
see just how many of the books you would like to purchase are voice over
enabled. Sorry my contribution is limited but I thought I should pass on
the little I know. Walter.

Subject: Question for Owners of the Kindle Fire?
Hello Guys,
I'm strongly considering getting a Kindle Fire. Need to know how
accessible it is to the blind community. Also does it come with the
VoiceOver feature that reads both the menus and ebooks?
Had to send back my Kindle DX a few months ago because Amazon for
some strange reason left out the VoiceOver feature.
If someone owns the Kindle Fire, can you please give some feedback on
how accessible it is?
Thanks.
