Designed Specifically for the blind and visually impaired

Kindle Audio Adapter
The Kindle Audio Adapter activates VoiceView on your Kindle when plugged into the micro-USB port. Just plug your headphones or speakers into the audio jack on the Kindle Audio Adapter to use your Kindle e-reader with an audio interface.

VoiceView for Kindle
VoiceView for Kindle, which also uses Amazon’s award-winning natural language text-to-speech voices (formerly known as IVONA), enables blind and visually impaired customers to read books and navigate their Kindle e-reader via voice prompts.

Touch Exploration
Explore content and navigate your Kindle e-reader using accessibility gestures. You can navigate item-by-item as well as by touch.
No doubt something analogous is coming to Oasis, perhaps via Bluetooth for the audio feedback.
