EASI Free Webinar: Improvements to Kindle for PC With Accessability

Thursday July 13 at 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2 Eastern

Presenter: Norman Coombs, Ph.D. CEO of EASI

Amazon has been taking accessibility more seriously in recent years.
Amazon had provided a free tool to read Kindle books on a computer.
Kindle for PC with accessability enabled a blind person to read a Kindle
book on a computer, but it was not very satisfactory. A screen reader
could navigate some of the menus, but the actual text was read by
Kindle's own text-to-speach program. This read the text aloud, there was
no way to navigate that text.

This webinar will cover:

Previous versions of Kindle for PC

New enhanced version of Kindle for PC

Setting up and registering Kindle for PC

Navigating the interface for Kindle for PC

Getting books for Kindle for PC

Using the library on Kindle for pc

Reading enhanced text books with a screen reader

Register for this free webinar scheduled for July 13 at 11 Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 Central and 2 Eastern
