[Nfb-krafters-korner] Kindle & Knitting Books?

[Annette Carr]

It is my understanding that the format of the books created for the Kindle,
are exclusive to the Kindle.  Additionally, it is my understanding that the
text to speech feature available on the Kindle is only available when the
publisher makes that feature available in specific books.  This is only
information that I have read on the product, and have not had any hands-on
experience.  

Another source for electronic books is Overdrive and NetLibrary.  Check with
your local library to see if they participate.  Be aware that you are
looking for audio books, and not e-books.  However, I've been told that some
e-books can be accessed if the PDF has been created properly.

HTH,
Annette

Hi Folks: 

This is a little off topic because its related to the "Kindle" book player
which is  a digital/audio type of player that is sold exclusively through
Amazon.com 

Any way, I know that the device Kindle is not fully accessible to the blind.
However, on the Amazon web site, there are a number of knitting books that
are in down-loadable format and I was just wondering if anyone on this list
knows if these books can be played on a Victor reader Stream or other
accessible player?  If so, can I just purchase those titles I'm interested
in, download to my drive and then copy onto my Victor Reader? without the
purchase & use of any additional software  Thanks for any info on the
subject. 

If this has gone to off course for this list, email me directly.  
Thanks. 

Eileen
