Hello all,
I ordered a Kindle HDX yesterday and should receive it tomorrow. I am doing
so because I am going to demonstrate it to VIBUG,
http://www.vibug.org
at our next meeting and then raffle it off.
After I have some time to experiment with it, I will let you know what I
find.
Thanks.
Amy

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.
