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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Hill To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2012 7:17 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Amazon adds Voice Guide and Explore by Touch to standard Kindle Fire 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.

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 Cheers Barry
