switch operating ur kindle

[sian]

here is a list of links to help u operate ur e reader . ( even the kindle 2!)
so seen as the orignal thread is old https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...15#post2980015

this sound so much like me, i cant hold a book some days epscilly cold days, i go to no movement , like last thusday which also ment i couldnt swollow drinks.


Im in uk and i was born disabled.


i found the kindle very good i have a kindle 2 and kindle 3 and will be getting the kindle voyage as soon as poss.
I bought them from amazon.co.uk


the reason i mention the kindle is because the page buttons are on both side


the voyage has sensors on both so page back and forward on both left and right and u can change the way the page is on screen ( usually i have mine landsape as im lying down and use the top set of buttons to change the page.

the paperwhite is also touch screen .

the voyage and paper white kindles as far as i know ( did get info off amazon)
dont read
so if your friend needs text to speech then they say anything after kindle touch is no use

but the kindle fire 2nd gen on does read and is colour has a light built in has touch navigation. ( i dont use )

also need some sort of stand to hold it.


i do find i can operate the kindle 2 ,3 , paperwhite and will be able to use the voyage.

i found the kindle fire too heavy to bulky and to sensertive, the tts voices was fantastic

but the weight was the biggest issue and the carousel too sensertive is why im now selling it

i have tried ipad the ezreader and lots more , ive email
was told
sony dont do tts
ezreader was slow and then slower after upgrade



the kindle screen ( not kindle fire) doesnt hurt my eyes or make me dizzy.
and the kindle i mentioned are opartional by either left or right handed


and i can have a switch put on kindle if i need to use my head switch. so i recomend the kindle to ur friend and any one who needs an e reader who struggles with moment

ps sorry this is a reply to an old thread but it is a very good question and i dont no how to add this thread to a new thread.

i thought id start with this as it may help some one

Hey mate, so you're looking for an e-ink device where you can change orientation to landscape and which would have TTS?

I'd just shoot an e-mail to Amazon and ask them. Just make sure to confirm there's an option to lock orientation if you're planning on reading while on the side in bed -- otherwise the orientation will jump to portrait.

No point. Amazon don't make any eInk devices with TTS. The Kindle Touch was the last one to have TTS.
