in my experience, Kindle for Mac is unaccessible. VoiceOver says
everything is "unknown".

Until you get your keyboard, why not try out dragon dictate for your iphone.
It's a little clunky to text, but there is an sms feature under the menu
button.
It works pretty fantastically, they should defenetly be charging for it.
So, free it's a no-brainer.

Ah, that's simple. The reason is because I always am barefooted while at home;
either inside or outside! no better way to be.
