I have been able to go to archive and download a book I previously purchased 
but had not read - however:  I seem to have to right arrow and control r at the 
end of each page and although it doesn't take a second, and if it is free 
that's just one of the drawbacks:  is there something I can do to read 
continuously?

Mandy.

Hi Mandy,

 

Did you install the Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin? This is the 
version you need if you are to use it successfully.

 

If you did, then your screen reader should handle the navigation of the 
application, while the text to speech built into the software will take over 
when you’re reading a book.  Once you’ve pressed enter or control o to open a 
book, you can press control I for instructions.  However, control r will start 
reading from the top of the page, and if you return to a book, pressing space 
will resume reading.

 

If you only installed the normal Kindle for PC, you’ll need to install the 
version with the accessibility plugin.  Go to

I’m not sure I understand your Wi-Fi question, but you don’t need to get the 
software to connect specifically to your Wi-Fi network – it will just use your 
existing connection.  You should probably check the ‘deliver to’ option when 
you order a book from Amazon, to make sure it’s set to Kindle for PC.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Ed

Hi All.

 

Seeing someone request help for this reminded me that, although I sold my 
Kindle because I can access everything on iBook's, there would be nothing lost 
by downloading Kindle for PC which I have done but how do I get speech?

 

Also I am connected to wi-fi – do I have to connect the Kindle for PC 
separately?

 

Mandy.
