Hi Graham,
Not only that, there are far fewer books on the iBooks store, than there are
on the Kindle store. I love my Kindle.
All the best
Steve

Thanks. But both these have touch screens which are pretty useless for me.

Graham, I would almost think that you would be better off purchasing an iPod
touch or iPad to read e-Books. Not only is it completely accessible and can
do more than read books, but the accessibility is built into the core of the
iPod and just seamlessly interrates with the iBooks application. I have
actually read a few books on there, and love the interface.
Hope this helps!
Megan

While3 I love my bookcourier, its days are numberd. I just bought a Kindle
for my (sighted) wife and it seems to have some really nice, if
experimental, accessibility features. Has anybody elose gone down this
route and doesanybody know if there is a discussion group dedicated to blind
access to the kindle?
I thought it might provide me access to new books, via the speech-to-text
function, but it seems that not all publishers allow this for their books -
goodness knows why. I suppose they are afraid that people will use it
produce audio books from their copyrighted texts. I can't really see most
sighted people wanting to listen to the robot voice.
