New Kindle features for the blind and vision-impaired

Posted in kindle by Conner Flynn on December 7th, 2009

kindledx-sbAmazon’s Kindle is about to take things to the next level as it will soon have features for the blind and vision impaired, thanks to an audible menu system that allows anyone to navigate easily. They are also tossing in a new super size font that is double the height and width of the current largest.

The new features should roll out by next summer. We’re always saying around here that we need more devices to help the blind, so this is great news. It will be interesting to see what they add after these features.
