I installed Calibre and found it extremely powerful and useful software, but
utterly inaccessible. Thinking of suggesting the developer to make it
accessible to screen readers. But I need one of you to help me out by
providing links to websites where more elaborate documentations / tools are
available with regard to developing accessible applications

Thanks

Additionally, I found an open source Ebook management software which
(according to information given on Wikipedia), can convert epub to different
file formats.

Will install and findout how accessible it is..lol

Ok here you go

1. press f2 and change the file extension from epub to zip 2. extract the
zip file into a new temporary folder.
3. as per my experience, you should be able to find some htm / html files
somewhere within the extracted folders. This are the files where you will
find your whole book quote split across" into two or more files. Just copy
the data from html files to a new txt file.
4. or better still, try if you can use any html to text converter like
textpal, for instance.

If someone is keen to contribute their MS dos batch script expertise to
develop a simple tool to convert epub to txt, just syed.fame me on skype.

I'm currently not aware of any program, but I can tell you how to manually
convert epub to html / txt.

All you need to do is just rename epub extension to zip then extract the
files and then look for the htm files. Let me know if you need step-by-
instructions

Thanks

Dear all,
Is there any accessible epub to text or any other format converter?
Tried a few but they are not accessible.

Thanks in advance,
