I just Google Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin and follow the link. The download , unlike the standard app is over 200mb as it includes the TTS engines so you can tell you have the right one from the size.
It is accessible in as much as you can get the book running in continuous reading mode using its inbuilt Scansoft TTS, I think it is Tom and Samantha as the voice options available. You can pause reading and resume but you will not find all the navigation flexibility that you would have for example in the iOS app. It also does not allow copying and pasting of text and as far as I am aware you cannot for example spell individual words which is a drawback for study purposes. You can however sync your reading position across devices. It is useful to have as a free option however and when I was doing my PhD if a book was important enough I would get the Kindle version as well as scanning the book as it meant that I had a perfect electronic copy to refer to in the event of encountering the inevitable scanning errors in a 300 plus page book. I could then if necessary use the scanned version to if necessary copy text and spell words etc. whilst relying upon the Kindle version for general reading of the text. With the advent of the iOS app with its increased accessibility this process is arguably no longer necessary .

Somewhere, I heard that the Kindle app for PC was accessible, provided that you get the accessible version. So, I'd like to inquire on where one goes on the Amazon web site to get it, and basically, just over all, get some more information on how it works. Does it have it's own TTS, or do I need to use my own Sapi voices that I already have instaled. I have a book I just purchased, which I cannot wait! to read, and figured it would be so nice to be able to read it from my pc. I know beyond a doubt it'll work on my IPhone, IPad, and both my Android devices, but, I just figured this would be a really really nice touch.
