I've gone on at length about my irritation with the design of the new e-books, because although they could be ideal for people who cannot use their hands, up to this point there has been no way of accessing the units by voice, or through environmental controls. But out of the blue, there is a solution!
Kindle, the e-book reader distributed by Amazon has just been produced in the form of a free download for Windows PCs (a Mac version is to follow). This means that anyone who is able to use a PC via voice recognition or other system will be able to read Kindle books. Once the book has been opened, the only key that is really needed to move through the pages is the 'Page down' key.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking users will be able to use the new software and read completely independently.
Result!
You can download the new software from, http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_pc_mkt_lnd?docId=1000426311
I would be very interested to hear how other people get on with it.
