In answer to your first question Jackie, you do NOT need to have the
Wireless Kindle connected to your PC, although that is an option. It
can go wirelessly, even if your Kindle is at the far end of the
country. You can even e-mail certain files as you get a *@kindle.com
address.
As for 3, it's small basic qwerty keyboard with a few extra buttons.
As for 4, you will need sighted help there to turn it on, but almost
anyone sighted can do that for you.
George.

Thanks to everyone who replied with helpful answers to my queries on
this thread. But a few more questions, at least for now? (smile).
1. If you use your PC to download books, presumably you connect your
device to the computer to do so? Does this mean that there is some
software you need for the PC to recognise Kindle in order to do that?
2. What voice does it use? Please don't say it's Daniel? (grin).
3. When people talk about a keyboard, do you mean a keypad on the
device that you use for navigation purposes?
4. How easy is it to get the thing talking to start with? Someone on
another list kindly gave me some info, but I've inadvertently deleted
it while doing some PC housework.
Many thanks. Feel free to write to me off list to avoid clutter if
this thread is no longer of any interest to others.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
