[Athen] Kindle Accessibility, Renewed!

[Robert Beach]

This is going to be an interesting show to follow.  Hmmmm, will it do what is needed?

I guess my big question is why is it taking so long to implement these features.  The technology is there, the programming shouldn't be that difficult.

According to this article, Amazon is working to add audible menus to the Kindle.  This is good news!
