Hello Steve,

I take it that's any variant of Kindle Fire or HD on the market (HD6/7 or 
whatever).

Interestingly, my sighted partner has a Kindle Fire, and is thinking of getting 
a tablet, because she's heard so much about them...so I'll now be able to tell 
her she's already got one!

Best,
Clive

Hi Clive,

Kindle Fire HD or Fire I believe.  They are basically Android tablets.  They 
use Talkback but call it Amazon Screen Reader.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Kindle Fire query

Hello all,

I hear that if you have a Kindle Fire, Kindle E-Books which are shown as 
'speech not enabled' will still be spoken. Is this true, and if so, what are 
the best models to go for in terms of things like accessibility of the 
touchscreen?

Thanks,
Clive
