Re: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC
I was able to register Kindle for pc with accessibility on my own. When you first run it, There is a edit box, in this edit box, inter your Amazon email address and press inter. Now type in your Amazon password and press inter. Now you should be in Kindle for pc with accessibility. -Original Message- From: Tom Fairhurst via Talk Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2016 8:19 PM To: Butch Bussen ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC I see that several of you re using the PC app. Can you register your PC without sighted assistance.

RE: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC
Hi Carol, Thanks for the info on this utility. Smile Take care, Rod -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Carol and Roger via Talk Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2016 7:19 AM To: Dave <dlh...@centurylink.net>; Window-Eyes Discussion List <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: Re: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC Hi Grumpy Dave, I have a better suggestion. You still purchase your Kindle books. Instead of using the Amazon Kindle app, you can convert your files to another format of your own choosing by using a program called Codex. I am placing the link here. The program allows one to convert .pdf, .epub, .azw or whatever file type the Amazon books are in, and other formats from one to another. For example, you can even convert a .docx to a .txt or .rtf. It is pretty easy to use and it can be run in the Windows Explorer, at least on Win7 machines, through the context menu. You set your default file type for output and when you select convert, your file is automatically converted to the file you requested. There is also an option to choose another file type without changing your default. For example, you found a magazine article you wanted to read quickly..save it as a .txt and read it quickly. So, finally, here is the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5121410/Codex-2.0-setup.exe Oh yes, I used it yesterday and was informed there is a newer version. You can update it directly from the program.

You still purchase your Kindle books. Instead of using the Amazon Kindle app, you can convert your files to another format of your own choosing by using a program called Codex. I am placing the link here. The program allows one to convert .pdf, .epub, .azw or whatever file type the Amazon books are in, and other formats from one to another. For example, you can even convert a .docx to a .txt or .rtf. It is pretty easy to use and it can be run in the Windows Explorer, at least on Win7 machines, through the context menu. You set your default file type for output and when you select convert, your file is automatically converted to the file you requested. There is also an option to choose another file type without changing your default. For example, you found a magazine article you wanted to read quickly..save it as a .txt and read it quickly. So, finally, here is the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5121410/Codex-2.0-setup.exe Oh yes, I used it yesterday and was informed there is a newer version. You can update it directly from the program.

Re: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC
Either way, I just tried it again yesterday, and it still didn't work for me. The menu system appears to be workable, but you can't register your PC without sighted assistance. -Original Message- From: Linette Sukup via Talk Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2016 10:21 PM To: Dave ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC It's Kindle, not Kendal.

Re: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC
Hi Carol, Can I ask where do the Kindle books go once you have bought them? I read them on my iphone as the kindle app for the pc is not accessible for me. Is there a way to get to the books I have purchased in Amazon? I've never tried to access my books on amazon. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Re: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC
They have updated the program, but last time I tried it, it still didn't worik--either on the PC end or on the web site. I complained and got the traditional answer from Amazon that they appreciate my feedback and sent it to their development team--a dead letter box. I haven't tried it withthe the very latest Window-Eyes. I had them delete my PC from my devices because I couldn't do so. I will admit that I achieved success with the IPhone app. So, I didn't pursue work with the PC frurther. I know this is not what you wanted to hear. -Original Message- From: Dave via Talk Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2016 8:44 PM To: A I Squared Support Subject: Amazon's Kendal Book Reader for the PC Hello, A few years ago, Amazon put out a program that was to have made Books, in the Kendal format, readable by using Amazon's Book reader for the PC.
