Hi Kerry,
I can't seem to get the Audio Description to accept my double tap to switch
it on.
On the same page with the Audio and Audio Description switches, there is
also a subtitle option. I can switch this on and off okay, but the Audio and
Audio radio buttons won't react.
Do you have the subtitles option on your Fire? Or is its presence the thing
that is causing me problems? If so, any idea how I can get rid of it?
Thanks. Ian.

with Audio Description
I can confirm for those in the UK that man in the high Castle is audio
described. This is great news. It is also possible to activate the audio
description on your fire tablet. Simply start the video, double tap to bring
up the video playback controls, there is then a button and therefore audio
description. If you double tap that, there are then two radio buttons, one
of which is English, and one of which is English audio description. Activate
the English with audio description and then press close. You are good to
go. This is awesome!

I chose Episode One of The Man in the High Castle and got it to play,
with description, on my Fire tablet.
Have a great week-end, all.
