Dear blind-interest@xxxxxxxxxx subscriber,

Amazon.com is releasing a new version of Kindle for PC that adds accessibility features designed for blind and low-vision customers.

Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin is a free, downloadable application for your Windows PC. It provides the following accessibility features: text-to-speech reading with adjustable voice settings, voice-guided menu navigation, large font sizes, high contrast reading mode, keyboard navigation, and accessible shortcuts.

With this software, for the first time ever, the entire collection of English language books in the Kindle Store can be read aloud. With over 750,000 English language titles, Amazon offers the largest selection of accessible ebooks. In order to use the text-to-speech feature, an external screen reader program must be installed and running on the Windows PC.

The free download is available at <http://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?R=2K2H70RHZWU7M&C=1BCY59BXVQFS0&H=CHDG0V1IERAWLK7B8GVBJJVQCIWA&T=C&U=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fkindle%2Faccessibility%3Fref_%3Dpe_71480_18358260>www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility.

Sincerely,
The Kindle Team

Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless; it is like chasing the wind.--Ecclesiastes 6:9 NLT
