Hello I have used the Kindle itself and Kindle for PC extensively for about a year now. Almost all the books I wish to read are text-to-speech accessible and they arrive (after purchase) within 11 seconds. The PC and the Kindle synchronise within a few seconds once you change from one piece of hardware to the other.
My question is the same though: are Kindle books accessible on the Mac? The actual text is not read via the user's access software but via the inbuilt speech both on the Kindle and Kindle for PC.
