[NJTechDiv] Kindle books

[Ryan Mann]

Hello.  I have an Orbit Reader Braille display and I tried to read part of a Kindle book using the Kindle app on my iPhone.  I was able to start reading the book by using the Orbit’s panning keys.  Since the Orbit only has 20 cells, I needed to use the panning keys a lot.
