Customers can highlight text, add notes, perform dictionary and Wikipedia lookups, and copy text to the clipboard. Using NVDA, customers can read books by character, word, line, page, and continuously (with pages turning automatically). Customers can now use the popular, open source NVDA screen reader to find and open Kindle books on a Windows PC. This week, I’m excited to announce our update to the Kindle for PC app, making it easier for visually impaired customers to find and read millions of Kindle books. Last year, we brought our VoiceView screen reader to Kindle E-readers. From Peter Korn, Accessibility Architect at Amazon. First download the Kindle app on your computer, and make sure you have the latest version of NVDA installed. We found some well-rated books on JavaScript, information security, and Java programming for free in our testing.Thanks to the efforts of Amazon and the developers of the popular NVDA open source screen reader, Kindle books are now accessible to blind people using a Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 7 computer. Scroll down past the featured best-sellers, and look for the Sort by: drop-down box a bit down the page.Ĭhange it from Featured to Price: Low to High to show all free books in that genre first. If you'd like to narrow your search, go ahead and select a category, like Computers & Technology, on the left-hand side of the Kindle books homepage.

You'll find classic reads that are out of copyright from authors like Charles Dickens and Jules Verne, but there are plenty of science fiction, romance, and thriller books on this page as well. Here, Amazon gathers the most popular free books in several categories. However, since we're looking for free books, you should visit the Cheap Reads for Kindle page first.

You can click the Kindle Store link at the top-right of the window to open the Kindle book storefront in your default browser. Assuming you don't have any books yet, let's go looking for some.
