This is informational only. KNFB Technologies which produces the KNFB
Hand-Held Reader is in the process of making its free Blio Book Reader for the
Windows PC and other devices more fully accessible to more screenreaders than
just JAWS - including Window Eyes, NVDA, and System Access, etc. For those
unfamiliar with Blio, it is similar to Amazon's Kindle app for Windows PC but
has more features. However, it requires a bit more of a learning curve due to
its many features and highly visual graphic nature to attract sighted
individuals. Nevertheless, a number of blind and vision-impaired folks are
using it for its advanced capabilities, and I have started a group of
screenreader users to discuss recommendations for KNFB's planned improved
screenreader and keystroke capabilities due out later this year.
I cordially invite any screenreader user interested in Blio and possibly
testing BETA versions to join our email group as follows:

accessibility features by individual members would be appreciated on a
voluntary arrangement between KNFB and any interested list members if approved
by KNFB.
