Dear Friends:

The Wave will be available as a Kindle book as of January 8th - for
$6.99. The author is Tod Strasser. Turns out that Morton Rhue is a pen
name. Here is the link.

You don't need a Kindle to read a Kindle book. Kindle books can be
purchased and read on Kindle software applications (available for PC,
IPhone, etc.) The book will be speech enabled, but that might only
work on an actual Kindle. However, I read that one can download speech
to text software for the Kindle software applications, and that
software will read aloud ANY Kindle book, but in the mechanic voice
that we associate with speech to text software. Here is the link for
more information on that:

To open a Kindle Account, you need to supply a credit card number. I
know that one can buy pre-paid credit cards at the post office for
making purchases on the internet. I also know that one Kindle Account
can be used over multiple devices... I think up to five, so a few
students might be able to share an account.

My computer is kind of slow and the bundle required to activate the
speech to text software is large, so I am not going to try it out, but
perhaps someone out there with students who need The Wave will take up
the challenge and give it a try.

Yours,

Sharon Tzur
