Recently a kindel program for the pc was released that seems to have gotten favorable reviews from VI folks, but still not a completely e-book reading solution. As far as the actual device however... still not very practicle. Amazon's inching towards accessibility, but they're still not there yet. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Cummings Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 6:09 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Kindle Reader 3rd edition Hello: Lately I have been hearing about the Kindle Reader. Has anyone had experience with it? Does it work with JAWS when downloading books? Is it accessible to someone who is totally blind? The web site says it has text-to-speech capability, including the menus. What is the speech quality??
