Hi,
I downloaded it from Sendspace and it is working OK. I registered it with
Amazon which entailed entering my Username and Password and I've been able
to read a book using it.

Just catching up with this. I thought the app was only usable with the
US Amazon store. Is that not the case now?

Hi
Not sure if anyone answered this. I don't know the answer, however if
you go to amazon.com, click on help and look for Accessible Kindle for
PC there should, I hope be details there.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Kevin

Can the books be read with a Braille display or audio only?

Hi all
Further to messages sent earlier this week, I have now downloaded and
briefly tried out this software. It enables you to download any books
from
the kindle store from amazon. You can read them whether they are text
enabled or not. You do need to have a screen reader on your pc, but
the
Kindle for pc tool uses its own speech which sounds quite acceptable.
I
have not yet found a way to change the speed or the voice, but I have
hardly
looked as yet. I just wanted to tell everyone that it does work, even
with
the books which are not voice enabled.
Most books are cheaper for kindle than paperbacks or hardbacks, and
there
are a good many books which are free. These are not only classics but
also
some modern novels. You can search for free books so it is easy to
find
them.
First impressions are that it is not a great way of reading, as you
have
to
do it at your pc, but it is a definite step forward and makes many
more
books available.
You do not have to do any ftricky book converting. It is all done for
you.
I do not have the URL readily to hand but I think the messages were on
Monday of this week, i.e. 24 January.
