I do 

not plan to purchase one.  I'm just interested in reading a book that I am 

unable to find from another source.  Thanks.

The 

  Kindle (K I N D L E) is barely accessible for low vision. While you can 

  increase the print size, the menus are still small print (8 or 10 point font). 

  You could probably memorize some of the menus, but many of them change 

  depending on what book you are in. Buying a book is also difficult. Also, not 

  all books have the read-aloud function enabled and a lot of the controversy 

  from the author's guild over this has caused many authors/publishers to 

  automatically disable this feature without really understanding whether this 

  is good for their particular book and audience. These observations are all 

  based off my use of the Kindle that we gave my mother and I have to teach how 

  to use it. (Plus, my knowledge and access to the literary world as a 

  writer.)
 
I 

  have not used the PC version. However, the Braille Monitor had an article 

  about it that stated is was better than the device but still had many issues 

  for true accessibility.

Has anyone ever tried to use the Kendel for PC 

	program to read Kendel books from Amazon.  Someone told me that they 

	thought the ap for the PC was accessible, even though the actual Kendel 

	isn't.  Does anyone know?
