Somehow I missed this: NVDA reads Kindle books!
Clarissa Mitchell
Hello all. I just wanted to write to say that only today I discovered
NVDA's ability to read Kindle books! :) I've been using NVDA for quite a while now, as well as the Kindle app for PC, so I'm not sure how I missed this, as it apparently started with version 2017.1. The only thing I can think of is not using Kindle for some time. The last time I used the Kindle app, I had the old version of it installed, you know, the one where you had to get a special version with the accessibility plugin added? Then I found out Amazon had a new version of Kindle for PC that didn't require a special accessibility plugin. Today I finally re-installed Kindle on my computer, and somehow I discovered that NVDA could actually read the book, without my needing to turn on the text to speech feature! This is way cool! :) Wondering when this was added to NVDA, I looked it up and found this page: https://www.nvaccess.org/kindle/ Thanks NV Access! I think now I'll be buying more Kindle books!
