Re: Question about the accessibility of the Kindle DX?
Hi I have tried a few subscriptions for newspapers and they work really well, better than books really. You can select a section such as news then even select particular articles. Haven't managed to go to particular chapters of books yet. thanks Mark Bishop To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Question about the accessibility of the Kindle DX?
Anyone on the list using a Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device: Free Global 3G successfully? I'm very curious how accessible it is and are there any audio tutorials to assist a visually impaired person to get the most out of it? Very interested in the Blog and Magazine subscription features in particular. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Question about the accessibility of the Kindle DX?
Hi The kindle is amazing. As a braille reader and somebody who doesn't particularly like conventional audio books it has revolutionised my reading. About 95 per cent of all the books I have looked are enabled for speech. When you first get it some sighted help might be an advantage as you have to turn on the speech function. Although I was able to do this with the help of the excellent customer service people telling me how many times to move down or up and when to press stuff. The only thing that is totally not accessible is to search for books and download them via the kindle so a 3g version isn't worth it. You should go for the wi-fi version instead. You just go to amazon on you laptop or pc and select your book you can then download it wirelessly which is free straight to your kindle. You can also put other files on there such as pdf but I don't know if these are spoken and audio books from audible.com or audible.co.uk. hope all this isn't too much waffle for you.

Re: Question about the accessibility of the Kindle DX?
Thanks Mark. That's just the type of input I was looking for. Love listening to audio books, but sometimes you just want to listen to something that's updated on a daily basis (Newspaper, Magazines, Blogs.)
