Once and a while, I turn on my Kindle keyboard to make sure it still works.
There have been a couple of times I had to charge it before It would turn
on.

Subject: [vi-kindle] Kindle and synthetic speech.
I have two hearing aids and totally blind. I am very particular about
synthetic speech. There are some sounds which give me a migraine and others
I find it difficult to understand. The speech on the Kindle Keyboard was
fine, but the speech used for the Kindle books via the Kindle app just was
not going to do it for me. Voice dream Reader did make life a bit better,
because I did have options in selecting a voice I was Comfortable with. I
came close to burning out my Kindle Keyboard, because at that time this was
the only voice I could tolerate. I did not care that it was not completely
accessible. I have it tucked away for hard times or when I just want to make
sure it is still working.

I started out with a Kindle Keyboard about three years back. When the Kindle app for iOS became fully accessible, I stopped using my Kindle keyboard. Now days, I convert my Kindle books with codex to epub and read them with voice dream reader using Neospeech.

Well, I don't know any thing about blue tooth either. I'll stick with my
keyboard kindle. Does what I need it to do. The problem is that many of
you think that just because you know all about this stuff, that all of us
do. I really don't consider something all that accessible if I need sighted
help to set it up or need to go buy extra stuff. But, again, what do I
know.

Thanks for your very informative message. It's to bad that blogger doesn't know anything about using bluetooth.

That blogger apparently has no experience with using bluetooth
otherwise he would have made sure that the BT speakers he tried were
using a current version of Bluetooth such as version 4.x. I've seen
that behaviour not necessarily with a tablet from Amazon but with BT
devices using Bluetooth version 2.0 and such.
