If you still can't connect to the Wi-Fi, we'd recommend using a USB cable to connect the e-reader to your computer instead. Turn your internet off and on, and restart your Kindle. Older Amazon Kindles will soon no longer have internet access, company says Owners can either upgrade, recycle, or trade their device Gary Guthrie Reporter Photo (c) Carolin Voelker - Getty. If you've tried changing your Wi-Fi router settings, and hotspotting your smartphone, and nothing's worked, there are a few quick things to check. There are accounts online of people successfully using their smartphone for this though, so it seems rather hit-and-miss. When writing this guide, not once did we manage to get our smartphone to successfully connect to the Kindle, even when trying different phones. As noticed in our testing, and corroborated by accounts online, hot-spotting to a Kindle doesn't always work. We've got a separate guide on using your smartphone as a hotspot here, so click that to find out how, but again there's a catch. If, for whatever reason, you can't get your router to output 2.4GHz, there's another option, though it's no less techy - that's by hot-spotting your smartphone, or temporarily turning your device into its own router, which will output 2.4GHz. It may be possible to get your router to start sending out 2.4GHz too. If you're able, check your Wi-Fi connection settings from your provider to see if this is the case or not. So it's possible your Kindle can't 'see' your Wi-Fi router because the box is only sending out 5GHz, while your Kindle only 'sees' 2.4GHz. Well, most tech nowadays can connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but since the latter is faster and more reliable, some routers only use it, instead of 2.4GHz. Firstly, Kindles only connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi - this is older, and a bit slower, than 5GHz Wi-Fi, which most modern devices use. Once you've done this, press 'Connect' and your Kindle should now be connected to the internet.Ĭan't find your Wi-Fi connection in the list? There are a few reasons why not. Now, click the name of the Wi-Fi network, and put in the password you wrote down (or have handy). On this list you should see all the Wi-Fi networks you're in range of, including the one you hope to connect to. Press 'Wi-Fi Networks' in the menu you're on, and a pop-up here should show you a list of all the internet connections in range. There is not even an option to modify the reading speed.Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2018) (Image credit: Future) I’ve tried looking through the settings and I can’t find any options to modify the text to speech software for the Amazon kindle app for Windows 10. It is also not bilingual and uses English pronunciation for all of my Spanish books. The voice is much more robotic (I think it’s Microsoft David) and it does not highlight the sentences as it reads. There is a text to speech option through the kindle app that I tried using and although it works, it is much worse. So what I tried doing next was reading the books through the kindle app for windows 10. All of my text to speech softwares work for other websites so I know the issue must be with the kindle cloud reader. I’ve tried downloading other text to speech softwares but all of them can’t read anything from the Kindle cloud reader. My Read Aloud software can no longer read the books. It looks like the Kindle Cloud Reader has recently received an update and I noticed that the font has changed for all the books in the cloud reader. It has always worked fine until yesterday. Hello, please help! During the past few years, I have been using, “Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader” from google chrome to read all my books through the kindle cloud reader.
