Kindle: A Case Study in Retrofitting and Stigma When a Product Refuses Universal Design

| 0 Comments

News from Kindle;

We're writing to give you an update on Kindle initiatives relevant to blind and vision-impaired users.

A new, free software update is now available for Kindle. Vision-impaired customers will benefit from two new larger font sizes and font enhancements that improve the clarity of the text for a more comfortable reading experience. The largest font available is now more than twice the size of the previous largest font.

This software update will be available shortly on all newly shipped Kindle devices and will be delivered wirelessly to all existing devices except 1st generation Kindles. Learn more about the features included in this update.

We're committed to addressing the needs of blind and vision-impaired customers and we'll send updates to this list as new, relevant features become available.
