Hi again,

Below is the thread, in the Amazon Kindle Forum which deals with
Accessible Kindle for PC. As mentioned at least one other person
(other than me) has successfuly downloaded and used Accessible Kindle
(the download being used is that from Sendspace as the one on
amazon.com does not seem to work here in the UK).
Here is the link to the Amazon Forum discussion

Regards,
Kevin
