The reason I ask, you probably didn't hear about the latest release of Nvda
and the Kindle for Pc program. From the nvda notes:
Support for reading and navigating books in Kindle for PC version 1.19,
including access to links, footnotes, graphics, highlighted text and user
notes. Please see the Kindle for PC section of the NVDA User Guide for
further information.

Can Window-Eyes read the Kindle books like NVDA?

Yeah they could indeed. I am using NVDA right now and one of the new
features that it has is the abillity to read Kindle books with browse mode.

Would it be possible for someone to transfer this list to another host
should VFO decide to discontinue it here?
I suspect window-eyes will work for a while, and it would be nice to
have a place to ask questions, especially with the current state of
phone tech support from VFO (with folks that had to learn W-e only
recently for the take-over).
NVDA just had an update, and the list is very active. There appears to
be a tech person from NVDA who is very good at answering questions along
with a bunch of helpful users. You have to pay to talk to a human from
NVDA, but since the list is very responsive that doesn't appear to be as
big an issue as I thought it would be. Still clinging to Window-eyes,
but good to know.
I'm wondering what will become of our SMAs and if vfo will transfer the
many, many Window-eyes users to jowls.
Remember word Perfect? I owned the program, but when I switched to
windows, I didn't spend the money for an upgrade. Maybe that is what
will happen with window-eyes.
This is all very depressing, and the lack of any info from vfo makes it
worse. they could at least communicate with us.

Well, for what it is worth, the future of Window eyes does look on the
Bleak side. So the actual Death of Window Eyes could be a Real Deal
happening. So far, everyone has had a hopeful wait and see attitude.
And while I have my doubts, I too am hoping for the Best, but I am
preparing for the worst.
In some Circles, this is recognized as Wisdom.
As for this list being Dead. It too might come to an end, but the fact
that everyone here are still able to post, means this list is still
alive and active. So the list is not yet Dead.
But here too, I am hopeful it will continue, but again, I must look for
other Tech oreinted Mailing Lists that provide Suport for userws of
Computers, who happen to be Blind.
Anyone know of other Tech lists that are set up for the Blind Computer
user?
