Hello everyone,
I joined here to ask a question. My Kindle keyboard has had the problem of reading stuff out loud that it normally shouldn't. I've never seen it act like this before. I was in an ebook and I meant to hit home but went to the menu instead. I hit immediately hit home once the menu popped up, but now my Kindle's text to speech reads off the parts that my cursor is on. For instance, it reads out loud "Kindle User's Guide, 3rd. ed. Amazon, Item 3 of 9." When I change the page to the next set of books, it says "Page 2 of 22" then reads the title of the book and the author. When I hit Menu, it reads the things my cursor is on. When it goes to the screen saver, it even says "Screen saver" out loud. I tried restarting my Kindle, but it still continues to do it. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks!
Brad
