A friend just bought a Kindle 8" Fire HD and could not get VoiceView
started in the usual hold-two-fingers-on-screen-during-power-up manner.
Has this feature been disabled in this year's model possibly? Could
this be a sign that the purchased unit was a re-sell, open-box, or
refurbished unit? The owner did get VV running, but it required external
sighted assistance. Disconcerting.
