The kindle fire reads kindle books better, but their voice program which is 
called voiceview can sometimes lock up and you have to wait about 30 seconds to 
continue whatever you are doing.  It can be slower to respond, but I like the 
newer kindle fires because you can activate alexa and she will read books.  
There is a kindle fire group for the blind if you have more questions.

2017-04-04 Thread Mary Otten 
I'm curious why you like reading bookshare books on the Kindle better than on 
your phone, given that the choice of voices with voice dream reader is much 
greater that you get with the Kindle. I do not like the female voice, the only 
choice for a female voice that comes with the fire. If they would offer all of 
the ivona voices that they bought, I might like it better. But I despise the 
sally voice.

The kindle fire reads kindle books better, but their voice program which is 
called voiceview can sometimes lock up and you have to wait about 30 seconds to 
continue whatever you are doing.  It can be slower to respond, but I like the 
newer kindle fires because you can activate alexa and she will read books.

Re: Kindle Fire vs. IPhone App

2017-04-04 Thread Melissa Tucker 
The kindle fire reads kindle books better, but their voice program which is 
called voiceview can sometimes lock up and you have to wait about 30 seconds to 
continue whatever you are doing.  It can be slower to respond, but I like the 
newer kindle fires because you can activate alexa and she will read books.  
There is a kindle fire group for the blind if you have more questions.

you can enable Alexa skills. Wondering if this is easier on the Fire.
 
The app for Alexa is really cumbersome.
