Hi Mary, Yes, it is the same old Kindle for PC with Accessibility pluggin. You are right about its limited functionality and the two voices that do the reading. Kindle works muchy better on the iPhone, but the client I was researching Kindle for really needed to read a Kindle book and doesn't have an Iphone yet. Kindle for PC isn't a good reading solution, but it can work for someone who really needs to read one of their ebooks.

Bill, Are you saying that it is Window-Eyes that is actually interacting, i.e. reading the Kindle books on your pc? What you describe sounds very much like the old Kindle for PC with accessible plug in, which used one of 2 possible voices, Tom or a female whose name I forget, and had its own commands for navigation. But Window Eyes didn't actually work, i.e. this is a self voicing, very limited app, where you can't read words, charaqcters, lines, spell things etc, and the only voices you get are those provided within the app. Altogether an unsatisfactory experience, compared with other Kindle reading options on other platforms. But I haven't used this in a couple or more years. So are you now saying it has changed, and it is possible to use any Window Eyes voice you have and to navigate, really navigate, within the book?
