Hi Ian,

 

The Kindle app for Android works just as well I'd say.  I use both
regularly.

 

All the best

The way many of us now access Kindle content is via the Kindle app available
for iPhone and iPad.  The books are read using the Apple devices own
Voiceover TTS screen reader.  If you have a bluetooth enabled Braille device
you can connect it to your apple device and then read the text of any book
in Braille.  You can either by books from the Amazon site or email texts to
your Apple device for reading.  each Kindle app has its own unique email
device to enable this to happen.  There is also a Kindle app for android
products but others better qualified than I can tell you more about that.

I have been out of it for a months and have returned rather Kindle confused.
Is there any way of a totally blind person accessing Kindle Books?
If yes what are the options and is it Braille, speech or both?
