but it was lacking a lot of the navigation accessibility that you usually
have with your screenreader. (At least, as of the article that I had read). You
could read from beginning to end straight, but there was a lot of problems or
totally unusable features like reviewing words, moving back and forth by word,
sentence, character, and I think it had problems returning to your place if you
left a book and came back.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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>

<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?
