Hi Gordon,
I do usually give credit where it's due and the accessibility on iOS of
kindle is great.
The Kindle app on Android however hasn't been optimised for speech and is
much like the iOS version was before accessibility was introduced. That is
to say you can read all the menus, but you can't extract any text from a
book. It is still the same as Android.
I think it will change though because the Kindle Fire HDX is based on
Android, so I don't th8ink it will be long.
All the best
Steve

Hi
I have to say I am very happy with the accessibility of the kindle app on my
i-pad mini and with the i-book app that apple provide.
It seems counter intuitive that the kindle app is not fully accessible on
android devices, what's that all about then?
Who's this guy impersonating Steve Nutt bigging up the ebook app on ios
devices?
;-)
