Interesting news article.

Dear all,

We have spotted the pink unicorn. In this morning’s app updates, 
Amazon’s Kindle app was announced as being accessible with Voiceover. 
Initial testing suggests that remarkable work has been done. Book 
reading, note creation, highlighting, sharing and other features are all 
accessible. I am extremely pleased that blind and visually impaired 
people now have some of the world’s largest catalogs of books available 
to them via the Kindle App, Nook, and iBooks. Kindle devices still need 
to be made accessible. All of ACB’s members can take credit that such 
progress is being made in a short amount of time.
