That I heard about.  I haven't taken the time to look at Kindle for PC with
Accessibility Plugin because I don't like being tied down to the computer while reading a book.

A further note on text-to-speech:  If you use Kindle for PC with
Accessibility Plugin, which runs on Windows machines, all books are
accessible, even those for which TTS is disabled.

Even better than waiting for a book on BARD.  The first thing I'll do
is, make sure the book has text to speech enabled.

Russ, one of the most compelling arguments for purchasing a Kindle is
that books are often released in Kindle format the same day they arrive
in print format.  No more waiting for books.  Hurray.

When you are considering buying a particular book, activate the link
which names its title, and make sure that the "Text-to-Speech" feature
is enabled.  This is true for most books.  The "enabled" or "not
enabled" text strings should be easy to find with any good screen reader.

I couldn't set up my Wi-Fi on my own, because I needed the mac address
of my
Kindle, and couldn't read that off the screen.

It doesn't matter, about the ads you're not going to be able to see
those or
interact with those, I may end up getting the ad free one if mine ever
dies,
just cecause I don't want that at the bottom of my home screen but it
won't
bother you, the ads are unintrusive. Thanks and hope this helps.
