Well I am able to highlight my purchased book using JAWS and don't hear 'download' being announced under the File menu. Asked a sighted person to highlight my purchased book and go to the file menu and they confirmed that the download menu item stayed grayed out despite the purchased book being highlighted. Interestingly, highlighting the free default books amazon puts in the 'kindle for PC' program such as Treasure Island, ungrayed the download menu item under the File menu. How do I ungray and make the download menu item active and ungrayed?

Using the NVDA screenreader, you can display books as a list in the Kindle for PC app. They will be in a table, and you will need to tab around a bit to find them. When you highlight a book, press alt for the file menu. That's where the download option is. Note that you also have to choose the PC app as your Send to source in the Kindle store. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: Jean Menzies Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to download kindle book on PC's hard driveusingJAWS Hello Prateek I'm sorry if I can't be very specific with this. I was able to do it, but it took a lot of fiddling. But maybe I can recount enough that it will be helpful. The Kindle for PC program is very difficult as you know. Jaws is useless with it. I was able to do more with it using NVDA, so switch to that screenreader. I did a lot of exploring of the menus with NVDA and was able to find both a download and open book choice on the menus. Although I couldn't read any of the book in the Kindle app, perhaps activating those choices was helpful. Even after downloading, I have no idea where the book went. It wasn't listed in the My Kindle Content folder. I then went into the conversion program you are also using. I couldn't locate the folder or file anywhere, but ended up choosing to convert everything in the default My Kindle Content folder anyway. When I looked in the . eBooks folder where conversion results go, my book was there along with the free ones for Treasure Island, etc. Using NVDA, it appears that you can also remove the Kindle version from your library. I didn't try that. Hope this at least gets you started.

How do I get a purchased kindle book to actually download on my computer's hard drive?? , Using Win8.1, Latest JFW17. I installed and logged on to Amazon's 'Kindle for PC' program on my Win8.1 windows computer. I'm successfully logged on to my amazon account each time I open the "kindle for PC' program. I bought a kindle book using my web browser at amazon.com and clicked the 'deliver to kindle for PC' button. ON my computer opening the 'kindle for PC' program, I can see the purchased book listed there. I just can't find it on my PC's hard drive which suggests that the 'kindle for PC' program on my computer is accessing the book and its contents from the cloud and not my PC's hard drive. I can open and read the book within the 'kindle for PC' program. I however need it on my PC's hard drive so I can use AN ACCESSIBLE LEGAL SOFTWARE CALED the CALLED 'CODEX' TO CONVERT THE KNIDLE FORMAT TO ANOTHER TO ALLOW me to read it on my BookSense Xt.I can also see that installing the 'kindle fo r PC' and logging on to my amazon account through this program on my computer put the kindle book 'Treasure Island' for free on my PC's hard drive and I'm able to locate the files for this kindle book on the hard drive. I can also see Treasure Island right below the book I purchased in the list in the kindle for PC program. Just can't find the purchased book anywhere on the hard drive despite doing a search.
