Got my hands on a copy of the new #Kindle app for Windows 11. You can read the text with a #screenreader, but only line by line. Not word by word or character by character. Say all does not work. Pages do not advance automatically; you must press page down when you get to the end of a page. Find does not work. You cannot select or copy text. Alt text does not seem to work, though I'm unsure if this was a problem with my particular book. Hopefully Amazon gets these things fixed before Kindle Legacy is discontinued on June 30th. For now, this app is effectively unusable for long-form reading, or for research and study. @nationsblind@JonathanMosen#accessibility#a11y#blind
@feld@JonathanMosen@nationsblind Yes. All of these things worked on the existing Kindle app for Windows. However, that app has been renamed to "Kindle Legacy" and is being discontinued on June 30th, and will no longer run after that date. The new app runs only on Windows 11, and is only available in the Microsoft Store.
