Hey, the email to which I am responding actually came to my gmail address!!!
Yes, actually the Kindle for Mac is quite accessible as far as being able to
listenbut I think you still cannot read a Kindle book in braille with the app.
Just get the official Mac application. It at least used to be that the one from
the Mac app store was different from the one on Amazon and not as accessible so
to be safe I would download it directly from Amazon. You can actually download
books in the application too which used to be inaccessible.

Wait, Kindle is accessible, minus this issue, on Mac now? Do I get the official
Kindle Mac client, or what do I need?

When reading Kindle books, both on Kindle and with Reverb, I muted voiceover.
I discovered that after interruptions braille showed me in a window with my
full user name, not just the short form that shows in the home directory, and
a dimmed blank for password. If I tried to vo-tab away from this window the
window would disappear and it couldn't be found with vo-f2 twice. I think
this window is the source of the mysterious login announcements some of us
have noticed for a while and I am speculating that the stoppage of Kindle's
text to speech is related to this and is due to a loss of focus. I have
screensaver set to "never" and I use auto login so I cannot figure out what
triggers this and given that the password field is dimmed I don't think the
purpose of the window is actually to request me to log in. I just wish this
would go away but it has been around for a while now and it still remains
with every update. While I hear the words I never actually get placed in this
window when voiceover is not muted. I can not help but wonder how many other
focus issues and other abnormal behaviors are the result of the popping up of
this window.
