Still, the Kindle ought to be totally accessible.

Hi all,
This really should be taken over to Bookshare Discuss, but the whole point of
this discussion and the articles that were posted is that a machine that is
designed for the general public shouldn't have to be a kluge. You shouldn't
have to turn the speech off to go forward and then turn it on again to continue
reading. That's a kluge. It should work seamlessly. If you once turn on the
speech it should work in all instances for all commands and all operations.
This Kluge is unacceptable, period!
I had the opportunity to use a Kindle to read an audio book. I could only stop
it and start it. I couldn't navigate within the book I couldn't really switch
to another book. Admittedly, I had about thirty minutes of training, but this
shouldn't have to be like this.
