<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The kindle does not read the text out loud.
The "speech reading out loud device" has been blocked by book publishers, I
believe. NFB is in the process of trying to fight this issue, but it could
take years. I don't know anything about the glare.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you,</DIV>
<DIV>Lauren</DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>
