Thank you Ed, very helpful.

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.

Is Kindle accessible? If so which one and is it easy to activate? Jeff
