I agree. So much for their half hearted attempt at accessibility. Butch----- Original Message ----- From: "Russ Kiehne" <russ94577@xxxxxxxxx>

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.
