I had in mind you can plug this into a bluetooth speaker and thus control the volume via the bluetooth speaker, but thankfully those who have tried the adapter report it does indeed have volume control through the Paperwhite software.

Thanks. I was afraid yesterday that I had spent $28 on a useless connector. Sounds like it will do what I had hoped. Will be here in a few days and I will give it a work out.

So today's Kindle Chronicles podcast (http://www.thekindlechronicles.com/2...accessibility/) Len Edgerley interviews Amazon's Accessibility Architect and they discussed Kindle VoiceView and accessibility generally at length.
One of the things that came out is that Ivona requires 512MB RAM (or at least 256MB is insufficient). As far as I can make out the Kindle (7th generation) has only 256MB. So it will not get VoiceView, and neither will Paperwhite 2, which also only has 256MB. Presumably the forthcoming replacement for K7 ('Woody') will have the necessary resources, and will run VoiceView. Last edited by tomsem; 05-13-2016 at 04:38 PM. |

So if all else fails in the DRM-removal sphere, we can get the Kindle to read out the book and feed the output into voice recognition software....

It's not currently available in the UK. I see that your profile says that you have a PW2. VoiceView only works on the PW3 (plus the Voyage and Oasis), not the PW2.

If you have a PW3 with latest update (or apparently Oasis, and Voyage with downloadable voice data), you can use off the shelf parts to activate VoiceView (which is what I've done). There's nothing proprietary about the Amazon audio adapter.
