Hi, listers.

I'm sure by now that a lot of you have heard about the new Kindle for PC app 
with accessibility plug-in that Amazon has just put out.  Well, I got all 
excited and tried it out on my PC, and can't get it to work.  I looked at 
the comments on
www.blindbargains.com
and found that somebody seemed to be having what sounded like a similar 
problem to mine.  He said that he'd resolved the problem when he discovered 
that his system's qty libraries had a conflict with those of the 
application.  Well, I don't know a qty library from a punch in the nose, but 
I wonder if there's any way for a non-techie like to get this thing to work. 
Has anybody tried it yet?  I'm running Windows XP.  I have WindowEyes as my 
screen reader, but this Kindle for PC program totally locks up with 
WindowEyes, so I tried it with NVDA.  I could get into the program, but 
can't get it to read books.  Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to 
proceed?  Any help very much appreciated.

Beth Wright
