Some Kindle books can be linked with Audible talking books, using ' Whispersync' to provide professional narration, usually by an actor or the author. In contrast, the iOS app has a choice of eight fonts, though some are very similar to each other. You still just have a choice between Bookerly and Georgia, two very similar serif fonts. Unfortunately, Amazon has not provided any additional font options for viewing the text with the new PC and Mac apps. In Windows 10, go to the Speech Recognition control panel, click on Text to Speech and then select a voice from those available on your computer. To change the default voice on a Mac, click on the Apple symbol (top left of the screen), followed by System Preferences, Accessibility, then Speech to choose your System Voice. Unfortunately, the app doesn't highlight text as it is read so it can be hard for somebody with reading difficulties to follow the text, but having easy access to decent computer voices is still a significant improvement on earlier versions. Now click on Tools, then Start Text-to-Speech (or press Ctrl-T on a PC, Cmnd-T on a Mac) to start reading the book from the top of the page. Once you have installed the app on a Mac or PC, and logged into your Kindle account, click on the book that you wish to read. The Mac and Windows versions of the App are very similar, but the screenshots in this blog are taken from the Windows version. (In the case of the Apple app, you currently get version 1.12.4 from the App Store, but version 1.19.1 from Amazon. To get the latest, free version of the app, make sure you go to the link on the Amazon web site, not the Apple or Windows App Store as the App Store versions are quite old. All this has changed with the latest versions of the apps, available from Amazon, which can easily read out text from speech-enabled books using your computer's default voice. I am pissed off.Text to speech has been available for some Kindle book readers for a number of years, but if you wanted to add this feature to the Kindle apps for a Windows or Mac computer, this involved an incredible amount of faffing about. Apple and Amazon have gone to far with their controlling users. I cannot afford to buy a new mac let along pay for upgrading all my apps just to run on 10.10 on my 4yr old iMac. Would you trust Apple and Amazon now? I live on SSI/SNAP due to disabilities am born with.

So content I have in my Amazon account is forever locked up out of my use until I upgrade my Os and the Kindle app. And on sep.15th the app on my iMac will no longer work at all anymore.
Senior Amazon support staff explained that Apple requested Amazon force all Mac kindle users to upgrade to the 10.10 before they can use the latest Kindle app.

You can easily download and install the latest version of the Kindle for Mac from our download page on Amazon.
#Kindle cloud rrader for mac update#
Our latest update (version 1.11.0 or above) is still free, and includes important bug fixes that are required to continue using the app. It's time to update your Kindle for Mac app! We appreciate the time you've spent reading with our Kindle for Mac app, but you have registered a version on one of your computers that is out of date and scheduled to be retired by September 15.
Would like to share an email I got from Amazon a few days ago:
