So maybe I missed a thread someplace but is the Kindle app for iPhone
really not accessible? I download and installed it and found the
framework at least to be accessible but I didn't want to purchase an
actual book just to find out the act of reading was not.

While we're somewhat off topic, Wired had an interesting article out on
Friday about how copyright owners are fighting a plan to release e-books
for the blind. Could have impact on book readers of any flavor.

The NFB had to push the release of their e-book reader to January
sometime. I personally would prefer Amazon to make their apps
accessible. Why can't they just make it so that it works with the TTS
already built in to the iphone and the mac? Then voiceover can just
read the books to us
Esther, I can't recall who posted the info, but wasn't there also something the
NFB was collaborating with to make books accessible as well? I can't recall if
this was for Kendal books, NLS books or what. Does anyone know what the status
of this iPhone app is as well?
tnx

inadvertantly allow them to do just that. Consider, if we have access
to something else even if it doesn't have all the content, that gives

Hello Esther,
Well, I can only speak for myself, but the reason why I didn't get too
excited about the news of the updated stand-alone Kendall device is because
I don't want yet another piece of technology to carry with me. I would be
happy if they'd just make the Kendall App accessible.

I'm not saying we should pay for anything but its an option. Once we have
access to the device, we are part of the market for this product and we as much
as anyone else can choose to purchase materials. Once you purchase the device,
you purchase books and magazines as you wish. Obviously you
