Sherry, the link that Amazon gives for Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin is
http://www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility When I go to that page, the actual address that this link resolves to is http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kin_pcacc_surl&docId=1000632481You may want to try to download the new version and reinstall it right on top of the old one. I have two machines which have Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin. On one, I did a clean uninstall of the software, including deleteing all associated Kindle folders, before installing the new version. On the other, I installed the new version without uninstalling the old one and with no modifications to the Kindle folders. Both installs worked.

I haven't gotten it installed. I'll do that this weekend. Last night I uninstalled the versions I had on my laptop, but I couldn't de-register them. I kept hitting enter on the deregister links but nothing happened. Does anyone have a link for the pc app with the accessibility plug in?

It appears that there is no "Archived Items" command anymore. In the "Go To" menu, the "Home" and "Archived" commands have been replaced by the "Library" command. This means that there is no longer a way of displaying only the items on the home page. All of the items are spoken. Actually, my sighted wife tells me the screen contains downloaded items, all items, and archived items, but these cannot easily be distinguished from each other. If one highlights an item and goes to the "File" menu, an already downloaded item will have the "Download" option disabled. If one goes to an archived item and then to the "File" menu, the "remove from device" item will be disabled since we're dealing with an archived item. This scenario will take some getting used to. Unfortunately, the "Help" file hasn't kept apace with these changes. It still mentions the "Home" and "Archive" commands of "Control-alt-H" and "Control-alt-A," which don't seem to work anymore. I'm not sure, but I think the "search" command of "Control-F" is broken in the new version. I can't search for text and pull up matches as I could in the older version. I hope a user who has been able to download the new version will chime in with her/his thoughts. Maybe my software is misbehaving, or maybe I have misunderstood the new look. All in all, though, I'm rather disappointed that the help file and the actual command structure are out of synch. If the "Search" command is really broken, this is a major disappointment. I'm sorry for the rather unclear syntax. It's late, and I'm not functioning well. I wanted to get some thoughts down in the hopes of possibly helping others. I hope I haven't confused folks instead.Craig
