Hopefully one of you can try to describe to me how to convey this concept. I have a friend who is sighted who will be getting a mac really really soon. They know little to nothing about the mac nor about OSX. Again, Voiceover is not going to be a concern, as they are completely sighted. Basi

Kindle audiobooks are just audible audiobooks. But ordinary Kindle books can now be read by VoiceOver, so they can be considered audiobooks in that sense. Of course, I don't think any of us would think of that as being audiobooks. So, in short, they're really just e-books you can read with a scr
