so apparently you need to have this hardware reader in order to read a
kindle book, which is in some proprietary format? I would think there would
be software that could do the job just as well...
Thanks.

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.
