The accessible Kindle app for Windows is free from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility Grandpa Dave From: Dave Mack Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2011 9:34 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: E-books at Amazon Julie, The Accessibility version of the Kindle Application for Windows PC also permits text-to-speech for books that are not TTS enabled on the regular Kindle and regular Windows application for users in the U.S., Canada, U,K. and Australia. So I recommend the accessible version for all blind and V.I. users since it will read non-enabled TTS as well. http://www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility Grandpa Dave in California From: JULIE RODAWAY Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2011 9:10 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: E-books at Amazon Hi Some of Amazon's kindle books have text to speech enabled.
