Re: [AI] Query regarding Kindle/E-book Reader
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.

Re: [AI] Query regarding Kindle/E-book Reader
Dear Kiran, Tablet and Kindle are different devices from each other I guess. Tablet functions as laptop whereas Kindle is basically E-book reader. On kindle no browsing is permitted as understood. Anyhow, without internet access one cannot have access to books as mentioned already. On the other hand, tablet is giving access to many other applications as you may wish. Thanks Kailas On Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:32:40 +0530 Kiran Kaja wrote On Kindle Fire tablets, screen reader works on all areas of the device and not just for reading ebooks. It is a full-fledged tablet. You will be able to browse the internet, read email, shop from Amazon and so on. As I said previously, the screen reader is more or less the same as Talkback. If you download Kindle app on your iOS or Android device, that will let you only read books. You would use the screen reader on your resepctive devices to read books in the Kindle app. The Kindle app on iOS and Android has no voice capabiliities of its own. Hope this helps.

Re: [AI] Query regarding Kindle/E-book Reader
Dear Board of Graduate Admissions, I am indeed very disappointed for missing out on studying at Cambridge University, but I would be very grateful and at ease if you can address my following two queries: It is yesterday only that I attended an interview for the Chevening/Cambridge Scholarship which happens to be the last stage of the award process. The description of the award read as- A Chevening/Cambridge Scholarship offers financial support to individuals wishing to study for a Master's degree at the University of Cambridge and Chevening/Cambridge Scholarships are jointly funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Cambridge Commonwealth, European International Trust. Query 1. Did yesterday's Chevening Scholarship interview influence the outcome of my application for MPhil in Public Policy programme? As I was communicated the outcome of the application from your side within 11 hours of the interview. Query 2. Are both processes, Chevening interview round and Cambridge graduate application process related? Lastly, it would help my future applications if you could kindly share any reasons for my application not being successful. It would help me to better my prospects for future application. I will certainly not contest reasons for rejection. Thanking in anticipation... With due regards, Ekinath Khedekar Hi Kiran, Hope you are doing well. I agree to the point that perhaps spending 10 grands for just to listen to the books doesn't make sense to Vis as we can read books using Voice Over on iPhones. But how about for sighted people. How is it beneficial to them to spend 10Ks? Do people pay only to have that bookish visual feel while reading on the go?

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.
