That is exactly what I would like to know as well, how's the accessibility on other things. Email, web browsing and general use of their version of Android. I understand there is no access to the Google Play store so I would think that this in itself is a big disadvantage but I'd love to see a podcast on this dealing with general accessibility besides Kindle books.

Margaret, Thanks for posting the link to RNIB's video. It was very informative and it demonstrated the KF's improved accessibility in navigating through books. While I admit that there are significant improvements in this area, what I really want to know is how the screen reader handles things other than books, such as the Silk browser, the app store and the apps themselves. These topics were not addressed in this video and I hope that RNIB demonstrates these capabilities in future videos, assuming they haven't done so already. If the new KF's screen reader works in areas aside from books, I'd definitely purchase this device. If it's just a talking book player then it's a waste of my money.
