Hi Jeff,
I'm assuming you've downloaded the accessible version of Kindle for PC and
you're asking about the hardware Kindle.
You'll need to make sure you get the Kindle Keyboard if you want speech.
Some of the functions of the Kindle Keyboard are accessible, such as reading
books and navigating the menus. You have greater functionality in terms of
navigating within a book with the accessible version of Kindle for PC than
you do with the Kindle Keyboard, but if this isn't an issue, then you might
want to give it a try.
If you decide to go ahead, I'd recommend buying the Kindle Keyboard from
Amazon as it will come pre-registered to your Amazon account. The Kindle
will not talk out of the box, but if someone is talking you through it or
you listen to one of the podcasts available, you may not need sighted
assistance to get it talking.
Overall, I would say that the accessible version of Kindle for PC is more
accessible than the Kindle Keyboard.

I have downloaded the Kindle programme for PC,
but find it awkward.
Is Kindle accessible?
If so which one and is it easy to activate?
Jeff
