Hi, Pshon.
That's so exciting that you're about to receive your Fire Tablet! I'm not aware
of any externally produced tutorials in its use. However, when you first
activate the VoiceView screen reader it will give you the option of going
through an interactive tutorial, which I recommend that you open. It can always
be opened later from Accessibility Settings in case you find that you don't
have the time to complete it. It's been a while since I've walked through it
but my personal memories of it were fairly positive. It's hard to predict what
you'll think about its structure, however, since we all learn differently and
something which may work well for you may not work as well for me. Beyond that
feel free to ask questions on this list as they come up as that's what we're
here for.
If you have any familiarity with iOS you will find that many of the VoiceView
commands are very similar to those which are used with iOS.
Also, during the setup process it is likely that your tablet will want to
download updates after it has successfully connected to WiFi. Allow it to do
this as some of those updates may be for VoiceView.
Enjoy your new tablet and keep in touch with us to let us know how it's going.

Hi, I’m very glad to know this list is here. Can anyone suggest any tutorials
or general info about how to use the fire tablet? I have the voiceview user’s
guide already. I want it mainly for reading kindle, audible and bard and
perhaps email. Are there other apps that I should know about?
Thanks
