  While you can't download the accessible version of kindle reading software 
from all geographical areas, I have gotten hold of it, and while have only ever 
bought one specific kindle book, the accessible reader is quite nice, since it 
does run quite happily with my registration details from amazon, and all you 
really need to do is use space bar to activate menus, and use Ctrl + I 
keystroke for being told navigation commands, and it uses relatively decent 
nuance synthesizers - both a male and a femal voice.

   

  Stay well

    Hi,

    I hope this link works. If not, tell me. 

     

    This article says that you can now get free, accessible Kindle software and 
read Kindle content from Amazon on your computer. If that's true, all of a 
sudden, a lot of hard-to-get books are mine. I'd be glad to pay print book 
prices to get books that can't be gotten elsewhere.
