Hi Andy Gordon has posted a link to download free books but, in the main, you have to buy them. And yes, Amazon is your place to do that. It is easy though, especially if you have an existing Amazon account. If not, just create one, look for the book you want to buy, make sure the correct device is highlighted you wish to download to, and Bob's your uncle or Sally's your aunt! There are a few versions of the Kindle though, so you would need to check which of them carries the accessibility features. I think RNIB has some blurb on this through their website. Give the list a shout if we can help further.

I can't help wondering though just how accessible all its features are given the limits of the Kindle Keyboard.

I see no point in owning a Kindle device and rely on voiceover if the app does exactly the same thing now.
