Hello, Shoshana.
Amazon will allow you to register more than one computer with a Kindle
for PC with Accessibility Plugin account. Each one has a slightly
different name, which is listed in the title bar when you load the
application. If I were you, though, just for the sake of housekeeping,
I'd deregister the software with Amazon before installing a copy on your
present computer.
As far as the Whispernet question is concerned, your computer doesn't
have to be connected to Whispernet. When you load Kindle for PC with
Accessibility Plugin, it will look in your Kindle account and note the
books you have already purchased. If you don't finds them on your home
page, check your archived items. If you are having trouble finding the
buttons in the application, let us know, and I'm sure I or someone will
be glad to help you.
One more thing: I'm not sure that all screen readers work with the
application right out of the box. Earlier versions of Window-Eyes, for
instance, do not. Fortunately, there is a plugin which allows the
Amazon software and Window-Eyes to play nicely, and the latest version
of Window-Eyes doesn't even require it.

I first downloaded the Kindle for PC over a year ago, before I bought
my Kindle KK ...only to find out I couldn't use it. Well, with one
thing and another, I never de-registered it, but I lost it from my HD
when I had a computer "incident" and had to re-format, reinstall, and
other interesting arcana. However, I now have the link for the PC app
with the accessibility plug in, and am seriously thinking of
downloading it so that I can move books around, or just put some there
to read.
My question is: Can I just download and will Amazon treat the new
download as the Kindle for PC I've already registered, or must I
de-register the Kindle for PC I have, download the new one, and
re-register it? Also, although I have a WIFI router that lets me get
books for the Kindle via whispernet, my PC isn't connected to it, as
far as I know ...so will I need to use the USB cable?
Hope this makes sense, and, of course, if no one can figure out what
I'm asking, or doesn't know, I will call Kindle CS, who are really
awesome about most things.
