Hi guys, just checked out the podcast. A great show as always. It's pretty cool
though, Peter mentioned the Kindle and immersive reading. I don't know how to
pass this along to him but somebody might. But, I've found out, I can use that
feature using either my braille note Touch Plus, on it's own running the kindle
App, for android, or using my iPhone. It will also work with a kindle with a
braille display attached, but that's some extra maneuvering to do, but, at any
rate, I use this feature a ton with audible narration and kindle books. It was
really neat for him to mention it, but I know a lot of people say it's for
folks with dyslexia, but I find you get deeper in a book that way, so I've been
using it with the app on my braille note Touch Plus, and it flips pages
automatically, not to mention searching, so it is definitely a pretty cool
feature. I just wanted to share and I bet Peter would love to know of yet
another way it's getting used. I wish Bard would incorporate that, and any of
the other reading apps, just for an option if you want it. With it, you don't
have to choose audio or braille. If you can and are a braille reader you have
the option now. It's pretty smooth. At any rate, thanks guys. Just wanted to
share. Take care.

An Amazon Loop is an electronic ring that allows you to communicate with
lady a. At home, you connect it to Wi-Fi and you also pair it to a cell
phone So you can talk to her when you are away from home. I am trying one
out, but I find it rather uncomfortable to wear, because it is a bit bulky.
The volume is also very soft, so if you are in a noisy environment, you would
have a difficult time hearing her. However, I like the idea of being able to
interact with lady A on something besides my phone when I am not at home.
