Hi all.
So a while back I tried signing into Amazon Kindle, and it wanted to protect my account by doing some sort of picture with cars or something. I didn't get round to having my wife take a look at it. Tonight for fun I decided to run it to see if anything had changed.
I get a welcome window, and web content about creating an account or signing in. But I see no way to actually sign in. I did click on sign in and got a thing about how passwords need to be longer than six characters once, but that's about it. I see no way to access settings/preferences, e.g. cmd-comma doesn't do a thing.
If this is actually usable once you sign in I guess at some point I can hook the Mac up to the TV and get my wife to sign in for me. But given the lack of useful accessibility for the sign-in process, I'm pretty skeptical at this point. Is there any reason to keep this around? I think I only bought one or two Kindle books and they were pretty cheap, so if I don't get to use it it's no great loss, I guess I could try it on iOS too. But I'm way more likely to read on the Mac.

Last time I used it...
I last touched my Mac last year sometime, but last time I used the Kindle app, it was vaguely accessible (as in, all you can read is a page. Can't move pages, can't read paragraphs etc). So, it's not worth it. And this has been an issue for years.
Thanks, good to know.
It does seem to be accessible on iOS from what I'm reading here in other threads. So I guess I can use it there, if I'm of a mind. Yet another reason to dislike proprietary formats, LOL! You'd think if they made it accessible on the PC and iOS and Android, they'd do it for the Mac as well. Guess not though.

it's accessible, but only under specific circumstances. if you want to read continuously, the keyboard is not your friend; use the trackpad commander and swipe down with two fingers for continuous reading. at least, that's what I did the last time I experimented with it. that was why I was interested in the Assistant reader, earlier
