Think I'll install it too as there's a book I want to get. Where do I install the Kindle software from? Presumably the Amazon is just the plug-in???

Hi Mandy,
There certainly used to be more titles available on the Kindle than through iBooks, I don't know if this is still the case though.
The one advantage with the software version over the hardware Kindle is that you don't have to check whether text to speech is enabled on the book. The software version with accessibility plugin is classed as access technology so all books will read regardless of the text to speech status given on the website.

Hi Edward.
Thanks so much for your help - I now have it working - a female voice and a bit toneless but hey it's free and I will only really want to use it if I can't get something on iBook's and can on Kindle or if it is a lot cheaper. Thanks. 

Mandy.

Hi Mandy,
Did you install the Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin? This is the version you need if you are to use it successfully.
If you did, then your screen reader should handle the navigation of the application, while the text to speech built into the software will take over when youâ?Tre reading a book. Once youâ?Tve pressed enter or control o to open a book, you can press control I for instructions. However, control r will start reading from the top of the page, and if you return to a book, pressing space will resume reading.
If you only installed the normal Kindle for PC, youâ?Tll need to install the version with the accessibility plugin. Go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kin_pcacc_surl&docId=1000632481
Iâ?Tm not sure I understand your Wi-Fi question, but you donâ?Tt need to get the software to connect specifically to your Wi-Fi network â?" it will just use your existing connection. You should probably check the â?~deliver toâ?T option when you order a book from Amazon, to make sure itâ?Ts set to Kindle for PC. 



Hope that helps.

Hi All.
Seeing someone request help for this reminded me that, although I sold my Kindle because I can access everything on iBook's, there would be nothing lost by downloading Kindle for PC which I have done but how do I get speech?
Also I am connected to wi-fi â?" do I have to connect the Kindle for PC separately?
