Bonnie,

 

And can a blind person use the Kindle to download books without sighted
assistance? Are the communication controls and settings able to speak?

There was a Kindle that was out about a year and a half ago that would read
the text aloud. Apparently the recorded books industry got snippy about that
and Amazon started allowing them to opt out, and I think they may have taken
the capability out of their next generation. But I do not know which
generation that was. My brother got one and loved the text to speech
feature. But if it's only going to work with half the books, that's probably
not worth it.
