Amazon, like Apple and Google, is pushing hard to have its devices used in the classroom, and the inaccessibility of the original Kindle devices was a definite drawback, if not a deal breaker, for many districts.
Recently, Amazon introduced the Kindle Audio Adapter, a USB dongle that enables Paperwhite Generation 7 users to read Kindle books with a ground-up rebuild of the VoiceView touch screen reader. This left only one inaccessible Kindle reading device-the original Kindle e-book reader. Amazon went on to develop the VoiceView screen reader for its line of Fire tablets, which also now offer access to Kindle titles. After the Kindle iOS and Android apps were made accessible, the blind and visually impaired community was finally able to purchase and enjoy Amazon's unmatched library of e-books using either VoiceOver or TalkBack.
