In settings, under general, under accessibility, under rotor, check off all the
items you want to have access to within the rotor. When voiceovers is on, you
take your thumb and forefinger and touch screen at the same time, rotate them
to the left or right to hear the selected items in your rotor menu. When you
hear the item you want remove your fingers from the screen and it will be
selected. To increase or decrease the value for that item, you take one finger
and swipe it up or down.

Go ahead and give instructions. It will be the very same on iPhones and iPods.
I own both devices, but don't remember how to adjust voice over speed. However,
the menu structure for both devices is the same.

Butch, I believe the latest version of the Kindle App has a user's guide
for VoiceOver users as part of the "Help" or "Support" option in
"Settings." As far as speed of the voice is concerned, there are
options in the "Accessibility" settings of the "General" menu. I
hesitate to guide you there with specific steps since I own an iPhone,
not an iPod.

I guess I got the right one as I did get it to download and read a
book. I did buy a blue tooth keyboard so at least typing in passwords
and such is easier. Cheating, perhaps, but it worked. A couple
questions, do I have any options as far as voices or reading speed? How
can I go forward or back a page?
Thanks much.

Butch, you'll need the Kindle app from Amazon.com. If you do a search
in the App Store for "Kindle," it's likely to be the first entry.
Just make sure you download the application that says it's compatible
with your model of the iPod.

What application do I need for my Ipod to read Kindle books. I'm barely
figuring out how to use the Ipod. I have a kindle keyboafrd, but would
like to try the Ipod.
Thanks.

If you don't get a knowledgeable response to your question in a day or
so, please consider joining the viphone Google group. Its users are
glad to answer questions about iPod use since there's so much overlap
between the iPhone and iPod in terms of the way the commands work.
I'll be glad to provide the URL for the group as well as registration
instructions if you need them.

I bought the iPod Touch in anticipation of an end to Kindle text to
speech, heaven forefend.
I am trying to activate VoiceOver... but when it warns me the hand
gestures will be different, and I say "OK", it sits for a minute, then
turns VoiceOver off. Any ideas?
I am going to go get Kindle for PC for it.
