Hi, Marsha here. Though I have had some problems at the start of this
experience as we might, overall I have had a good experience with Braille on
the device. The braille displays which are supported on the Kindle Fire are
the Brillliant line of displays and the Orbit Reader. Though the Orbit
doesn't have cursor routing keys which are above every cell, there are
workarounds for this with the space and enter key pressed at the same time
and also a spacebar with the letter E also pressed at the same time. There
is a change in sound as a double-tap is pressed and so you know you have
done the correct thing depending on what you want to do. You may email me at
marshamac669@xxxxxxxxxxx should you have further questions.
Hope I was of some help.
Marsha

Hi, Marsha here. Go to where it says "books" on the device. Then double-tap
on that entity. I use a ten-inch fire with a braille display, but as you may
not have one, the best way to do this is to swipe until you find the books
portion. When you find it, you will want to do a double-tap on it. After you
have done this, swipe until you find the book you want. Then double-tap on
that. There is a menu which gives you options such as various waypoints
which are nothing more than places you have left off. There is also an exit
menu. Tap on that with a double-tap to return to where you left off. You may
need to do this double-tap again to get back to whatever book you were
reading.
As I use a Braille display, when I get to where I have been reading, I will
use a chord or spacebar and M pressed at the same time to mute the voice and
read the thing in Braille.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Marsha

Hello, All,
I am using a Fire 7 updated to the latest firmware. Where on the device are
my downloaded Kindle books stored? Thanks.
