[gui-talk] Kindle books

[Cindy Handel]

Hi,

Kindle is a hardware reader.  It looks like a book, but has a screen instead 
of pages.  There are controls to allow the reader to turn pages and to move 
from one book to another.  That's really about all I know about it.  But, it 
has no speech and is not accessible.  It's also more expensive than the 
Victor Stream.

Hi all -- Has anyone had experience good or bad reading books on Kindle sold
by amazon?
Is Kindle a software reader, or a hardware device like an ipod?
Is it accessible? I'd like to get an armload of books but since I would be
scanning them anyway, I would prefer getting them in some electronic format.
What is Kindle anyway?
I guess I'll go back to amazon and read up on it, but I wanted to ask the
list first.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and the books aren't on bookshare -- I checked.
