[Electronics-Talk] Kindle books

[Donald Moore]

Check the voice choices for voice over.  The Alex voice almost a gig worth
is actually very passible for Kindle reading.  Also remember that you can
adjust the speed.  It's really as close as you can get to a professional
reader.  Hope this helps.

I'd like to read a book that isn't available from either NLS or Bookshare.
It is available in Kindle, but I've never used that.  I guess I'd run Kindle
on my iPhone.  

Could I use it with a braille display paired with my phone, like the
eReader?  I gather that's not as simple as reading an NLS or Bookshare book,
and I'd have to do something special every time I turned the page?

And, if I didn't use the braille display, then I'd just get the crummy
speech from Voiceover or whatever?  OK for lots of things, but not so great
for recreational reading.

Anyone have experience with Kindle books?

Tracy
