I did a little looking and the Kindel Fire will read aloud. I haven't founjd a sample yet of what it sounds like. The page says that reading is only available with a female voice and in The United States. I don't know if this is current information. It is on the Amazon site. I wouldn't assume that the voice will be something someone who doesn't use synthesized speech would wanht to hear, especially for extended listening such as reading.

I'm still looking for a sample of how the speech sounds. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201730270 Gene

I think they can also enlarge and chage contrast to assist in low vision.

From: Sugar Lopez Sent: Sunday, August 2, 2020 3:45 PM To: Tech Talk List Subject: [TechTalk] Info on a Kindle reader please Hi all I’ve never had one of these Kindle readers, so a friend of mine is having trouble seeing and is needing something to read to her until she gets her cataract procedure but can’t have it done until this Coved clears up a bit. She is in a home so it makes it difficult and she can’t use her lap top anymore I am needing help in locating a Kindle reader that will read to her and does anyone know where I can purchase one for her? Thanks so much. Her birthday is coming up and I’d like to know where and how I can do this for her soon.
