Well, I had very limited interaction with it. I installed it, and tried for a while and then I uninstalled. I like blio better. It is fully accessible, it has a large selection of books (and growing a 1000 per day) and best of all, it is a mainstream reader accessible for all blind and sighted alike. My sister loves it, my mom loves it, and my friends love it. It works beautifully with jaws 11 and 12 and it will soon work with windows eyes and NVDA.


Download it at:

http://www.blio.com


Try it. It is free. Make sure you download the "beta" version. That is the accessible one. The other is not accessible.


Any questions just ask.

Hello:

Lately I have been hearing about the Kindle Reader. Has anyone had experience with it?

Does it work with JAWS when downloading books?

Is it accessible to someone who is totally blind?

The web site says it has text-to-speech capability, including the menus. What is the speech quality??

Would appreciate any advice

Joan
