Hi,
You can't change any keys or voices with Kindle PC. It is what it is.
But you can change the shortcut to launch Hal.
All the best

hi ed, just installed kindle for pc. as you seem to be prety knowledgable on
this, can you tell me is there a comprehensive list of shortcuts for it. for
example:
is there a files or tools menu to let me change some of the personal
preferences such as volume or print some of the text from a page.
is there anywhere i can change the default hotkeys as some of them clash
with other shortcuts i have on my computer. for example i have left
shift/left ctrl with n set up for launching notepad, and left shift and left
ctrl plus h launches hal which is my screen reader.
the other thing i would like to change if possible is the reading voice. i
purchased a few microsoft tts voices a while back, do you know is it
possible to change the existing voice to one of these?
i know the volume thingy should not be a problem as what ever i have done
has increased it up, but i cant seem to turn it down again.
any help appreciated.
Regards
Sara May

Hi Carol,
You can get the complete install (Kindle for PC including the plugin) at
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kin_pcacc_surl&docId=1000632481
Hope that helps.

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???
