And, while there are still a few things you won't be able to access ...you 
haven't even touched all you can do with the Kindle!

Subject: [vi-kindle] MY quick review of the Kindle Keyboard


My Kindle Keyboard arrived by USPs yesterday.  When I used shift plus space
to turn on voice guide, nothing happened.  I used the instructions Tim
Emmons gave in his podcast.  That got the voice guide turned on.  My sighted
friend came later in the day and setup
wi-fi for me.  After restarting the Kindle, it updated to the latest
firmware.  Now shift plus space works.

Using the Kindle users guide, I found I had more navigation options than I
expected.  I could navigate from page to page by pressing space to stop
speech, Press back, use next or previous page and count to the page I want
to move to, Press shift plus symbol to start speech.
I could navigate by chapter to chapter by pressing space to stop speech,
press back, use right or left arrow, press shift plus symbol to start
speech.  I was happy to see that Kindle speaks the status when moving from
chapter to chapter.

I'm happy I made the move to buy a Kindle keyboard.
