Both versions, PC and Mac, are designed with the QT development framework, a
cross platform development environment that has quite a bit of work to do to
get accessibility implemented in the wigets. I was entirely unsurprised at
these results. In fact, an accessible client would have been more of a
surprise to me.

Thanks D;
I was hoping someone would report on the pc client but it's sad that it too
is inaccessible.

How lovely that Amazon is maintaining approximately the same standards for
their Kindle Mac client as for the PC one. I did get the client downloaded
and I think I read some help, but nuttin else.

Subject: [VICUG-L] disappointing kindle for mac beta app and iphone app:
all;
Amazon has released a beta version of the kindle for mac app. When I went
to:
http://www.amazon.com/kindleformac
using my mac, there was no way to download the app. I used windows to
download it and when I installed it by dropping the app into my apps folder
and running it, all I found with voiceover was the word register. No matter
what I did, I could not go further.
The results with the iphone app are not quite so bad, there, you can install
the app but not read any content.
