Keep in mind, sense that review, the following shortcuts have been added to the Kindle:

To toggle Voice Guide on and off: Shift plus Space.
Text-to-Speech: Press Shift plus Symbol to stop or play and Space bar to pause or resume.

I feel these shortcuts are a big improvement to the Kindle accessibility.

Welcome to the group, David.

You asked about helpful Kindle documentation.  Here is a review which,
although now old (relatively speaking) contains clear and helpful
information.

Hello.  I recently was given a Kindle Keyboard 3G unit as a gift and am
up and running with it and, in spite of its accessibility shortcomings,
really like it and am grateful to the library now accessible to me.  I
decided to join this group as I wish to exchange tips and ideas with
other blind Kindle users.
I've downloaded both demonstrations from the Techtalk archives as well
as a demo from Vision Australia.  If others know of additional blindness
Kindle resources I'd love to know about them.
