Re: Attention All Amazon Prime Subscribers
I don’t have a prime membership, but I can also get audible companions for some of my kindle books. They cost seven dollars each. There is, as I wrote in a previous message, the option to subscribe to “Kindle unlimited “. You can see what kinds of books there are in that section by going to the Kindle store. Sent from my iPhone On Feb 26, 2022, at 1:25 PM, M. Taylor wrote: Hello Mont, Yes, the audio narrators are real people, not a TTS. So, in the Kindle app, you can read the title via VoiceOver or choose to hear the human voices which were recorded in a studio; the same audio heard in any Audible title. You can also navigate the title via the audio narration or via VoiceOver. For example, when you use a VoiceOver gesture to change pages or jump to a specific location in the book, when next you engage the Audible portion, the human voice narration reading will resume at the same location. It's really quite amazing (smile). In the US, a standard annual Prime membership subscription is currently $139.

Taylor Sent: February 25, 2022 8:14 PM To: vipho...@googlegroups.com Cc: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Attention All Amazon Prime Subscribers Hello Everyone, I am posting this because I recently discovered a new resource for accessing / downloading newly released and more, Audible audiobooks at no additional charge to Prime subscribers. Please understand that there is a great deal about Amazon and Amazon prime benefits that many find rather confusion, including me, so I am just going to relay my experience and in no way am I posting as an expert. Okay, the other day, I saw an advertisement for a newly released collection of short stories that were published on Kindle, only, with audio narration (narration by Audible). There was a fee for the collection but the advertisement stated that Prime members could download and read the collection for free. Intrigued, I fired up my trusty iOS Kindle app and opened the Discover tab. Now remember, I'm going to keep this as simple as possible. In no way was my first experience a quick and smooth one for I had no idea of how any of this worked. Okay, after opening the Discover tab, I selected the category, "Prime Reading." There is also a "Kindle Unlimited" category, which I did not explore. I suspect that the Kindle Unlimited program is to Prime Reading as the Amazon Music Unlimited program is to Prime Music; a guess, only. Once I selected Prime Reading, a new screen was displayed. There are several sub categories to explore but, in order to search for a specific title, I selected "Browse the Catalog." On the next screen, there are two important items to note: (1) the search field and (2) the filter button. Whether you merely want to browse the catalog or search for a specific title, set the filter to "eBooks with Audible" and launch your search. All of the resulting titles will be eBooks that have Audible narration that are free for Prime members to read in Kindle and/or listen to via Audible. Of course there are many, many ways to navigate through the Prime Reading universe but the above was the method I used to get started. What I find most delightful is that I have been able to download some titles that were published for Kindle, only, and still enjoy the Audible experience without having to pay additional fees. Okay, I hope you find this useful. Happy Reading, Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone, The Next Generation" group.

Re: Using voice over with Kindle
it’s an app from Amazon. Books cost various amounts. You can sign up for something called “Kindle Unlimited quote and you could can get books to borrow up to 10 at a time I think the cost for that is about nine dollars a month but there are a lot of books. You can go on Amazon to the Kindle store and see what’s there.

What version of kindle are you using? I ask because my app works very differently than what you described in your previous email. for instance doing a single two finger swipe down the page activates continuous reading until you tap or touch the screen to stop it. You do a single finger double tap to activate the menu and its really easy to use. You just double tap the various options and there features and menus open. Its super easy. If you double tap more options, you can move by page and if you go to the table of contents, you can double tap the place you want to go such as a chapter or section and the app will take you there. as for turning pages, you do it with a three finger swipe to the right or left. Swipe left to go forward and right to go back. To keep this straight in your head, just picture turning the pages of a physical book. When you want to flip forward, you flip the pages to the left and you do the opposite to go back a page. If you just want to read by fliping the pages yourself rather than continuous reading, then go to the page you want to start reading and kindle will read that page then you do the three finger flick to the left to go to the next page and kindle will read that page and stop at the end of it. alternatively, if you are already on the page you wish to begin on just flick back one page then forward to your desired page and kindle will begin reading that page and stop at the end and you just flick forward to have it read the next page. > On Feb 26, 2022, at 2:05 AM, la...@comcast.net wrote: > > Not sure where you are having a problem, but this is how I do it. > When you download a book, or select it from your library, It opens somewhere > in the book, usually at the beginning.

Prefers a flip phone Fairly tactile buttons, raised & larger buttons would be best; having audio confirmation when a button is pressed would be wonderful. If there are menus, she would prefer a simple way of getting out of them; there was a previous phone she used that she could never figure out how to close or back out of the menus. She won’t be texting, doesn’t need a phone number or contact list, never will use the internet, etc. I mentioned the simple 3-button Jitter Bug phone to her and that might be her best solution, although she would like to not have a monthly plan.

Re: 911 Calling Help Please.
if you accidentally get into your Health app and tap something that might call 911 also, I think that if you accidentally hold down or squeeze the phone so that with the volume button on the left side and the on off button on the right side are depressed that also will call 911. Maybe it would be good to call Apple support and ask about that? Glad things are going well again. The number is 877-204-3930.

Re: reader available
I called Apple Disability about this very issue, and what they say is that it’s a very misleading thing because really there’s no reader that relates to us at all.

Problem with Speaker on My iPhone SE
I am using the most recent version of software, and also VoiceOver. When I'm on the phone, I first hold it to my ear, and then move it away, wanting the speaker to begin working, but it seems the sound of people's voices is "sliding" up and down the phone from the way it sounds when I have it at my ear, and the way it sounds when I'm hearing the voices through the speaker. This happens when the phone has been moved away from my ear. I checked, and the phone is set so that the speaker should come on automatically, but people keep saying they can't hear me. I hope this makes sense, and that someone can provide a solution. Thanks. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Microwave ovens and iPhone control
i’m relatively new to this list, but I think it is not necessarily kind to tell someone they’re not looking hard enough for something. Having said that, so far as talking microwaves go, I know there are some out there, and there are also models that manufactures can provide a braille overlay for the keypad. Also, using Dimo tape, it’s possible to have your own microwave marked by your friend or relative if you braille the various controls. Good luck. Maybe I should’ve sent this privately, but I don’t know who sent the message in the first place.

Now this only happens when I am using a menu on a call I have already made. But it doesn't work that way when I am keying in a phone number.
