Re: Kindle on Mac

2020-06-19 Thread Phil Halton
I used to use the Kindle plug-in for windows a few years back and it was pretty 
clunky then although it did work to some extent. I don’t bother with Kindle on 
the Mac. It can be OK on the iPhone, but you still can’t read with granularity 
like word by word on the iPhone Kindle app.

I don't think the Kindle mac app is accessible. if it's just a pdf not from 
Kindle and I were doing it I'd read it in iBooks.

Kindle on Mac

2020-06-19 Thread Traci Duncan
Hi all, I am struggling through with Kindle on Mac. I’m currently trying to 
read a PDF book. It took me forever to open the book. The application kept 
wanting to open a different book over & over. Anyway, I’m figuring out 
searching the text and having speech read, but I cannot get VoiceOver to read 
any of the text. Word by word, etc.

Any tips or tricks? Should I have done something to the PDF beforehand?

Thanks,
Traci
