Hi, Thanks for the reply.I was told by a member of Amazon's "access" team that although you can download the accessible Kindle reader, you can't buy Kindle books and utilise the software unless you are using Amazon.com and have a US account. Was I sold a dummy?Thanks, BJ -----Original Message----- From: Griffiths, Steve Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 6:36 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Kindle The menus on the hardware Kindle can be read with a built-in voice, although setting it up is tricky without sight. John Gallagher's done an introduction to using it on blind cool tech. A new version of Kindle for PC with accessibility was recently released; you can download it from www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility. I've written a short intro to itt which you can download from the "Kindle for PC with accessibility" link on http://www.rnib.org.uk/livingwithsightloss/readingwriting/ebooks/Pages/e book_readers_compared.aspx.
