I was just searching for text to speech engines (to see if anything new had come up since the last time I looked.) and Natural Reader was one of the first google entries.
Has anyone used this for complete ebooks, instead of for small docs or web pages?

What problem does your mom have manipulating the screen on the Fire? My uncle has been using a Fire for over a year with no problems, and he's blind as well.
