[nfbcs] Kindle Fire tablet

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi all,

 

I recently purchased a Kindle fire tablet to try since they are not very
expensive.

I was wondering if anyone on list has one,and if so, what are your
impressions?

I think the VoiceView is far more difficult to use than VoiceOver in IOS.
For instance, I am trying to set up my wifi so that I can enter my Amazon
account information, but I can't get the shift to work to capitalize letters
using the on screen keyboard, and my password is a mix of lower and upper
case letters along with numbers.

I ordered a Bluetooth keyboard, but it hasn't arrived yet.

I like the idea of having a very small tablet for reading books, etc. when
I'm traveling, and this is not to replace the iPhone or my Windows 10 laptop
by any means.

 

If anyone is using the Kindle Fire and has any pointers, please pass them
along.

 

Thank you.
