I am confused. The Kindle I received back in December 2010 has a keyboard and a text to speech facility. Are people saying that the new Kindles (I.E. all devices) do not have a text to speech facility? How do you read a Kindle book on an I-Phone? I don't have an I-phone so would be interested to know whether the device supports Kindle books.Many thanks, Kevin-----Original Message----- From: SaqibSent: Saturday, December 31, 2011 9:29 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: that new kindleHi. I am glad I have an Iphone as i can read a book on a device in which I carry with me. amazon is well aware of blind people who are wanting their products to be accessible. Despite this! they have no intention of making their future products accessible to the VI community.Sent from my iPhone On 31 Dec 2011, at 14:24, william lomas <will.d.lomas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:hi all, don't amazon have a right to support all people with disabilities with a kindle? surely their are laws meaning everyone should have the right to read their books on a kindle, be that with an iphone app or the new touch product? disgusting really how we are the blind consumer are yet again left behind, can't nothing be done about this?** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
