I'd like to hear the answer to that, too. Blind people actually come up with some fairly ingenious ways of doing things (out of necessity, of course). It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was some way to do it.

The person I know who would be interested in the Kindle is legally blind, but does have some measure of vision (20/400, I think...). He would be able to use the Kindle's interface by using a CCTV to look at the screen when he needed to.
