It will be interesting to see if they replace it with some thing else? Or will they make the Kindle fire fully accessible?I just upgraded my ipod touch to the 5th generation. I can use that to read Kindle books when my Kindle Keyboard stopps working. I will use my Ipod to read some Kindle books that don't have text-to-speech enabled.

Well, I'll continue to use my Kindle Keyboard untill it stopps working.-----Original Message----- From: David GoldfieldSent: Monday, May 20, 2013 8:03 AM To: vi-kindle@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vi-kindle] Kindle Keyboard May Be Discontinued Amazon has not officially confirmed this, but the Digital Reader reports that our beloved KK has likely been pulled from Amazon's stock; see http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2013/05/17/did-amazon-kill-off-the-kindle-keyboard/#more-51470 I went to Amazon's site and see that the KK is only available via third-party sellers, the cheapest one currently going for around $99. Am I surprised? Not really. I am assuming that the main reason for why Amazon kept the KK around was due to its accessibility. However, we now have a fairly accessible IOS app and, supposedly, the larger Fires have some accessibility, which Amazon claims will make its way into the smaller models. We'll see.
