This article reviews The Abundant Bookshelf: Reading Books on an iPhone,
iPad, or iPod Touch by Judith Dixon, available from National Braille Press.
It also introduces a brand new player in the commercial audiobook arena,
Downpour. Dixon has done a commendable job covering the various ways to
enjoy reading using VoiceOver on an iOS device.

=71054fe46c&e=c806462bb1>  Getting Started with Android by Ana Garza and JJ
Meddaugh, by Aaron Preece 
This is a great introduction to the Android operating system, especially for
those familiar with computer technology. Even though I was familiar with the
operating system and TalkBack beforehand, I learned quite a bit while
working through the book.

 

*	Speaking of Amazon: An Update on Amazon Accessibility and Using the
NVDA Screen Reader with Kindle for PC, by Bill Holton
<http://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=

The Windows Kindle E-Reader is now completely accessible using the NVDA (Non
Visual Desktop Access) screen reader. Since you may not have used NVDA yet,
we thought we would point you to a few excellent "getting started" guides,
and another potentially useful screen reader resource. After that we'll
return to Amazon, and fill you in on a few of the company's other recent
accessibility initiatives.

 

*	A Tour of Apple's iOS and tvOS TV App Plus Remote Options for the
Apple TV, by Janet Ingber

The TV app is an easy way to organize and have quick access to your movies
and TV shows on iOS and AppleTV. The iOS device Remote app and the Apple
Watch Remote app provide good options if you don't like the TV's included
remote.

 

*	Game Review: Less Is More with Mine Racer from 2MB Solutions, by
Jamie Pauls
<http://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=
2f3ed9f769&e=c806462bb1>  
I was first introduced to Mine Racer thanks to a podcast on AppleVis. I
found the price reasonable enough that I skipped the demo and simply
purchased the game. I have found it to be surprisingly enjoyable and
addictive.
