Hi, Well it would be kind of stupid if you couldn't. Why would they add accessibility only to not let you read the book?

The features, which help vision-impaired users navigate the Kindle menus and content, will be arriving "early next year" - Amazon did not give a more specific date beyond that. www.sky.com <http://www.sky.com/> Cheers Barry
