Better accessibility coming to Kindle books

Kindle Assistive Reader is… fully available in the update that was released a couple of days ago. It will essentially convert any Kindle book into an audiobook, utilizing an advanced text-to-speech system that sounds natural.

I had the old Keyboard Kindle and loved it because it had built-in speakers, which made it possible for me to listen to my ebooks. Even though the text-to-speech was terrible, at least it worked. Then Amazon decided to remove the speakers altogether and only included Bluetooth connectivity, but that experience wasn’t worth it to me. I’m glad to see that they’re once again making an effort to make their Kindles more accessible.
