I believe the Kindle program for PC uses your text to speech program
such as JAWS to read the text.<br>

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>

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>
