[Trainer-Talk] Amazon Kindle books and best way to read

[Greg Aikens]

The Kindle app for iPhone works fine with voiceover and with braille. 

The new Kindle app for PC also works well with JAWS but has a few quirks. I have used both to read several books.

There was an accessible version of the app for the PC. Annd most say it works well on iPhone. If you have an Alexa  devife they can also read kindle books. You can even tell it to speed up.  A lot of the books now have human read audio with them that you can purchase at a very reduced price.  I wish I knew more about all this but the app is kind of been replaced with the Kindle cloud reader and it’s supposed to be more compatible with jaws and NVDA and works much better than the app did. Here’s a page that tells you how to get it.

              Greetings,



I was gifted an eBook that someone really wants me to read. It's an Amazon Kindle book. I seem to remember JAWS not doing well with such books a while back, but I don't know if it has improved. What about on the iPhone? Is that any better?

If anyone has any advice on how to best read this eBook, please share your ideas.

Thanks much.

Jim
