Amazon making Kindle 2 more accessible

In my last week’s sickness I missed this really good piece of news from the official Amazon Kindle blog -

We’ve heard from many of our blind or vision impaired customers who are excited about Kindle 2′s text to speech technology.  Some of these customers have asked that we make Kindle even easier for them by adding navigation accessible to the blind.  We want to let those customers know that this is something we are working on and we look forward to making it available in the future.

Kudos to Amazon – this is just wonderful news.

  1. That is wonderful news. Though my blurred vision is not permanent and constant, that is a feature that will lead me to purchase Kindle above others. And in case I didn’t say thank you for the sound bytes you put up before, Thank You!
