I actually use a regular kindle more often. Works fine for reading continuously - not well for navigating around but I can pause and restart where I left off. As I remember the kindle app read a page at a time. Thanks Rick

I vaguely remember a podcast a while back that suggested that it was pretty hard to navigate. I'm not sure there's any real advantage for us with the Kindle app as for the sighted user, and with initiatives like BARD it seems unlikely that Amazon will have any real incentive to make the Kindle itself accessible.

I installed it, and it worked alright on the free down load books. However, I could never get it to complete the process to buy a book. God bless, Mark God Loves you!

I assume not but thought it was worth asking. Thanks.
