[Mdpobc] Kindle ?

I would be very careful.  Before you buy a kindle make sure  Joli can really use  it.  The controls are not accessible for  many blind  people.  Perhaps she   could  operate  it by  using her vision.  Most  of us can not do this.  Really test it out before you make the investment.

        Hi all.

        I am thinking of buying Joli (age 8 vision 20/400 with dyslexia) a kindle.  I like that it can provide enlarged text another with a reader who reads the material out loud. I am worried that there might be a glare factor though with this. I am wondering if others have used this device and what your impressions are.

        Thank you,
        Lauren
