[il-talk] Kindle app now accessible on iOS devices

Thu May 2 00:59:29 UTC 2013

Hello Gregg,

I'm glad that you are feeling better and that you will likely make the next
meeting.  As we will be having a parent seminar in May, we will not have a
Chicago Chapter meeting.  The next meeting will be held on Saturday, June 8.
The day will begin with a board meeting at 11:30 A.M. and the meeting will
begin at 1:00 P.M.  As has been the case, the meeting will be at the
Exchequer Pub and Restaurant, 226 South Wabash, Chicago.

It will be great to see you in June.

Good evening everyone,

First let me say that the doctors have managed to get my pain level to close
to a manageable level. My body in its current state has proven to be a very
reliable barometer. I tried making the last meeting, but my body still was
not up for it. I am very confident that I will be at the next meeting coming
up in May. Be careful and try not to get hit by a car while crossing the
street. It has caused relentless pain for the last year and a half. 

I have upgraded my Kindle App on my iPhone 5. I have listened to 20 pages of
the Linux Journal and a couple of randomly chosen books. It works really
great :-) I highly recommend everyone upgrade or install the updated Kindle
app. I believe every one will find it to be a very useful book reader to
keep in your toolbox.

My toolbox contains "Safari" (SafariBooksOnline.com), "Read2Go", "Audible",
"Kindle", "DaisyWorm", "Blio", "Learning Ally", "Voice Dream",
"Readability", "Reader", "iTunesU" (some issues here), and "Voice Reader". I
would love to learn of any readers that others have found to be useful in
their tool boxes.

In closing the new Kindle app even reminds you to swipe down with a two
finger swipe for continuos reading. 

I got all of the books I owned in print converted to an accessible digital
format, if they were not available in the Safari Books Online commercial
service. Safari Books Online is a really great technical book service. All
together I have access to over 180,000 books using the various books source
and book readers in my tool box.

P.S. I call the customer service folks for the Safari Books Online service
and request a discount. I tell them I am blind. They have given me ~$80 off
each year I call in to renew. I pay $399 instead of what ever their
prevailing charge.
