Kindle supports all document files - Doc, pdf, Mobi, TXT, EPub etc. So any book on your PC, can be transferred to Kindle. No need to purchase Kindle books. Of course, they are a bit costlier. Many sighted students are using Kindle these days and reading ncert books, sample papers etc on Kindle. But the version which most of these students use, does not have any speech support. Recently, I bought Kindle white in around ten thousand rupees for my daughter. It has internet WI FI support, Online dictionary, a bit of editing options, book marks etc. but there is no speech support.

Alternatively, if you have an iPhone/iPad or an Android device, you can download the Kindle app and get access to the same books on your preferred device using either VoiceOver or Talkback as per your device preference. If you do have one of these devices already, I would try the Kindle app first before investing in a Kindle Fire device. It is true that Kindle has millions of books but you need to remember that they are not free. I have seen users in India complain that they don't have access to all the books and the prices are bit on the higher side.

Heard information is that it gives access to millions of books. Are there friends who have been using it probably who are in to academics? Do we have to install JAWS/NVDA as the case maybe, or does it have in-built audio reader exist? Please respond. Thanks Kailas May god's bright blessings and light be with each of us.
