Re: Update Kindl

2013-05-01 Thread Woody Anna Dresner
Hi,

Reading braille with the Kindle app is great. You read until you can't read any 
more. Then press the Next Page command, which is pressing down on the right 
rocker switch on a Focus 40 Blue, and Space with O for everyone. That takes you 
to the top of the next page so you can keep reading. No reading past the bottom 
and having to back up before giving the Next Page command.

Best,
Anna

RE: Update Kindl

2013-05-01 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
Can books be bought from within this app, or is it like Audible and Nook where 
you buy them  from Amazon to your account, then go to the app to download them?

I'll be interested to learn of how the reading experience compares to iBooks 
and Nook.

Thanks.

You have to buy them from Amazon, but you can then sync them to your device. 
It's not Amazon's fault; Apple won't let them put a way in for buying from 
within the app unless Amazonwill share their cut with Apple.

Re: Update Kindl

2013-05-01 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi Anna and all.

It is great. If you need to read the last line or so again on a page, you will 
not be thrown to the top, it is great. It is one of the most accessible reading 
apps with braille for books 

I have sometimes problems to get the screen refreshed for braille reading, I 
will then need to touch the phone can anyone give me a reason for that.

In view options you can decrease the page size, and get a really large page, so 
that you will not have to turn page so often.

I can not find out how to navigate by table of content. I can find the table of 
content in go, but how do I use it, I would be happy, if I could do it with 
braille.

Best regards Annie.
