How about us who have just bought the Kindle Keyboard Barry Guess we have to 
put up with it now.  This new software will probably be more advanced than our 
KK.

  If the book is speech enabled, then you can read them on any Kindle.  What 
this new software does is to allow us to navigate the Kindle ourselves.

  It's not quite a tablet, as far as I know, more an electronic book.  I'm 
happy to be put right on that.

  Incidentally, that link was wrong.  Here's the proper link:

    Hi all

    Amazon has announced  that it is porting two accessibility features, "Voice 
Guide" and "Explore by Touch," from the 
    Kindle Fire HD 8.9  to its standard Kindle Fire  and Kindle Fire HD 7  
devices. 

    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.
