Another contribution from Jorgen with a link to a story at the Examiner.com about an Amazon Kindle for the blind or seeing-impaired. A first version of this special Kindle was criticized because of its reliance on too many button controls with on screen text to manage feature commands. It also ran into lawsuits revolving around its text-to-speech functionality and resistance from authors and publishers who felt the features would diminish audio book sales.
Apparently they’ve worked out all or most of the bugs, with features that should answer the criticisms. Read the background and specifics at the jump.
