Re: Kindle for PC

Hi


thanks.


I am wondering also how much information is needed in the tutorial  for people to use it.


It covers stuff like what version where to get it from how to navigate the program when looking for a new book what to look for if they want nvda to read it pointing also towards the user manual for kindle for pc in the nvda manual etc


I have not got a kindle device only the program.


Just not sure where to point to the nvda user manual or section or have it all in the tutorial for that section.


Does any one want to look at the draft? do not worry about the format or how it is set out.


It is the basic's of using the program.

At one point, Amazon brought out an "accessible version" of the Kindle app,
which was separate from the regular download.  When they brought out
version 1.19, it was early 2017 and around the time we released NVDA 2017.1
which brought accessibility to the "standard" kindle for PC app.
Essentially, any version of Kindle since then should be accessible.

Re the website for books, I must admit, I don't read many kindle books
myself so haven't played with it much, but if there is a problem, do raise
it.  If it's with the website, it's likely an issue for Amazon, but of
course it is worth us being aware of it as well.

Hi Brian


Just looking at the site for a accessible version of kindle for pc. funny
thing was on the accessibility page for it it is a very old version and
when downloaded apart from the menus was in not accessible.

I think it was like version 1.4 and 1.9 now and above is recommended.


I did read up you needed a later version of which i got but not from them
as i could not find it any where on there amazon website it seems like
you
go in circles.


the version i got now is accessible but if some one knows more of a
direct
link i will add that into the tutorial.




Would any one have a direct link to the latest version of it on there
website to download instead of searching for it off the net.

This is for the amazon website.


Just putting to together a tutorial on the basic's of using it once i
figure it out.

Or could you call it notes.


I see there are users on the list using it. I might have to sus out how
to
download other free books to or does some one on the list know how? and
what hoops i might have to jump through.

Or tips i can add into it.

Hi Don,

NVDA first got support for Kindle for PC (version 1.19 at the time) in
NVDA
2017.1, and it has improved since then.

We do have a few notes on using Kindle for PC in the NVDA user guide:
https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html#Kindle

If you do have any specific questions or run into any problems, please do
let us know.  Note that as per the first line in that section I linked
to,
this functionality is only available in Kindle books designated with
"Screen Reader: Supported" which you can check on the details page for
the
book.

Kind regards

Quentin.
