Will your program and brltty work on the Kindle Fire; i have the 5th generation. Brltty is not available from the Amazon's app store but I know I can also use the google play store with some modifications to my settings. I do have the braille program that is available from the Amazon store but haven't gotten around to use it because I heard that its use is rather limited. Unfortunately kindle books can't be read with braille on the Fire as they can be on iOS, or that's what I understand anyway. But that isn't the only thing I use the Fire to do.
As for accessibility I am mostly pleased with my Kindle Fire but the touch seems to be slightly different than in iOS devices and I tend to be slower with it especially when entering addresses in the silk browser. But that doesn't keep me from using it. > On Apr 19, 2016, at 5:19 AM, Daniel Dalton <daniel.dalto...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Shérab, > > Thanks for checking it out.
