[access-uk] Re: Accessible Kindle for pc

I suspect the answer to that question is that those who download Kindle from Sendspace obtain a fully functioning version of the application. So I'd recommend that people download from Sendspace as it appears that this is a working version (as previously mentioned it worked for me).

Kevin

But how come it works for some on this list who have already downloaded it
via the sendspace link?

Hope this helps,

Can the books be read with a Braille display or audio only?

Hi all

Further to messages sent earlier this week, I have now downloaded and
briefly tried out this software. It enables you to download any books from 
the kindle store from amazon.  You can read them whether they are text
enabled or not. You do need to have a screen reader on your pc, but the 
Kindle for pc tool uses its own speech which sounds quite acceptable. I
have not yet found a way to change the speed or the voice, but I have hardly looked as yet. I just wanted to tell everyone that it does work, even with 
the books which are not voice enabled.
Most books are cheaper for kindle than paperbacks or hardbacks, and there are a good many books which are free. These are not only classics but also some modern novels. You can search for free books so it is easy to find 
them.
First impressions are that it is not a great way of reading, as you have to 
do it at your pc, but it is a definite step forward and makes many more
books available.
You do not have to do any ftricky book converting. It is all done for you. 

I do not have the URL readily to hand but I think the messages were on
Monday of this week, i.e. 24 January.
