Thanks Tammy – We did see it and are thrilled to see Amazon making some moves
in the right direction!
Now if they will just make the Kindle a self-voicing accessible device (voicing
all menus and supporting fully structured DAISY books) then we'll know they
truly know how to deliver full accessibility to our users!!
Thanks!

I don't know who to send this to, but it is information I'm sure a lot of
people in Bookshare would want to know about. It works with JAWS and other
screen readers.
Dear blind-interest@xxxxxxxxxx<mailto: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
www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility<http://www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility>.
We welcome your feedback at
kindle-PC-accessibility-feedback@xxxxxxxxxx<mailto:kindle-PC-accessibility-feedback@xxxxxxxxxx>.
Sincerely,
The Kindle Team
