Tim the honest answer is I don't know for totally blind people. It might be a good idea to try one. Go and ask someone you know if you can try theirs.

I didn't know if someone who might be totally blind could use one, I'm thinking not, but hey I had to ask. Take care guys.

Try a screen cleaner and see if that helps. Also, various areas of the screen are designated to do different things. Don't take this the wrong way, but it's a question that needs to be asked. Have you read the Paperwhite user guide? I'm guessing you did a long time ago, but as I said before still needed to ask a question because I don't know what your experiences is with the Kindle Paperwhite. i've had various Kindles since 2009 and now I have the Kindle Paperwhite 2, and it does take a little getting used to with the touch interface, I'm still having to think about what I do as I'm doing it.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite, the previous generation one. What happens is that when I read and tap the screen sometimes the Kindle goes from 91% to something like 24%,. This does not happen often as it used to after I contacted Amazon and spent something like an hour trying to fix it. If I turn the top left hand side it goes back to the correct place.
