<DIV><SPAN class=834351707-26092011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>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.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[Nfbk] Kendel for PCAccessibility<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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? </FONT></DIV><BR><BR>__________
