Hi there,
I'd like to hear from folks who have had success using the Kindle App on
their IPhones to read books. There's a book I would really like to read,
but it's not on BARD or Bookshare, but it is on Amazon. First, is this
doable, and second, can someone explain what I'd need to do?
Hi, yes, the new Kindle app works great on the iPhone. I have read a lot of
books and am very happy with their new app. First thing you need to do is
download the app. Second you need to go to the Kindle store on your PC or on
your phone, and set up an Amazon account. Next you need to search
The Amazon Kindle app is very very accessible. I've been using it for about

to help you. Innoway, I feel like I have regained some of the
I have the Kindle app on my iPhone just because it's free and not
because I love books as I don't. However if a title becomes available
and I like it, I can now read it with the Kindle app. All is accessible
with VoiceOver including the book itself.

Hi there,
thanks so much for your replies. I just got a message from the developer
saying that he will take care of this issue. Hope the update will be out
soon, as this is one of my all time favorite apps.
Happy waiting and kind regards,

Hi there,
I don't know what i do wrong with Blindsquare. Everyone praices it in every
tone of voice imaginable but i just can not get it to work for me. Either this
is because i'm in a country that has no good maps or anything or i'm just not
getting how to do things.

Hello Jim. I've had great success using the Kindle app. They've done a
terrific job of making it possible to read KINDLE books. You have to
buy the books using the web site and need to register the app with
your amazon account. You do that in the settings. The button for
getting at those is right
Good Idea, Chris, using 4square in conjunction will give you lots more

Always, always keep in mind that whenever using these recognition apps such
as TapTapSee and alike, there are also humans helping with the recognition
task. Some of these humans may not be so altruistic when it comes to the use
of the information on that check including names and check numbers
Not something like TapTapSee which will identify a product but not read it's
label. There are others such as Talking Goggles that can somewhat do this if
you have the time and determination to sit there until it reads a label
little by little. Go ahead and install it on your device as it is
