[nfbcs] Kindle

[Alan Wheeler]

Um, I know I'm stating the exceedingly obvious here, but that is a bit like
buying food that you're allergic to, isn't it? 

I might do what that post suggested, but life is one big time crunch, so we
have to see when I get to it. Good idea, though.

The Kindle app is completely accessible, except for the part with the book
in it, which won't read. All the buttons speak, though, so you can select
and purchase and all sorts of things, you just can't, well, you know, read.
