Thanks, Richard. The link worked great. I would add a couple of tips to your 
instructions:

 

I needed sighted help to sign into the Kindle app. I couldn't get to the fields 
for entering my email address or password. I tried JAWS, NVDA, and Narrator 
with no luck.

 

Also, to turn off updating, open a book in the Kindle app, and tab to Options. 
Press Enter. In the first section of Options, which is general, tab to a check 
box about automatic updating. Make sure to uncheck it.

Anna and Allan,

OK, now if you want the slightly more recent version of codex, it works on my 
site now.

 

Funny thing, when you don’t put the entire file name in the html link code; 
things don’t work.  Duh!

 

I just tested it and it works now.

 

I’m glad you got the file converted.  

James Scholes did the version 2.1 in 2016 to fix some issues that I cannot 
quite remember the details of, but for future reference if 2.0 doesn’t work, 
try 2.1.

I may just put both the Kindle and Codex files in a zip file so people can grab

ON the Useful apps page, down several headings where you can find the Kindle 
1.17 and the Codex 2..1.1 installation files.

Anna and Allan,

OK, now if you want the slightly more recent version of codex, it works on my 
site now.

 

Funny thing, when you don’t put the entire file name in the html link code; 
things don’t work.  Duh!

 

I just tested it and it works now.

 

I’m glad you got the file converted.  

James Scholes did the version 2.1 in 2016 to fix some issues that I cannot 
quite remember the details of, but for future reference if 2.0 doesn’t work, 
try 2.1.

 

Later,

 

Richard

Hello Alan and Richard and Malcolm,

 

Thank you all for your help. Alan, I had no problems downloading your Codex 
link. I needed sighted help to sign into the Kindle app because the only thing 
I could do myself was select the Amazon store. Fortunately, the app was 
accessible once I was signed in. I was able to download my book and convert it. 
There is real text there, alleluia! It's going to take some editing to make it 
easy to read because (not surprisingly) the Hebrew came out as gibberish, but 
it should be workable. Thanks again to all of you!

 

All the best,

Anna

I may just put both the Kindle and Codex files in a zip file so people can grab

Hi Alan,

I think now that I have the whole file name in the html code, it would download 
even if you simply hit enter on it.  At least, it does with Edge.

 

I had fixed the link last night after realizing the .exe got left off in the 
link code.  In too much of a hurry, I was.

Thank you all for your help. Alan, I had no problems downloading your Codex 
link. I needed sighted help to sign into the Kindle app because the only thing 
I could do myself was select the Amazon store. Fortunately, the app was

Alan and Anna,

The 2.0 version doesn't work as well; but have you tried a right click and save 
file as?

I will fix it by the morning.

I may just put both the Kindle and Codex files in a zip file so people can grab 
them both at once.

laws and cheating the author out of their tiny royalties.
In order to convert your Kindle books with Codex, you will need to install 
Kindle For PC version 1.17, which you can get here:
  
KindleForPC-installer-1.17.44183.exe

Since it appears that James Scholes no longer has a web site and I am unable to 
find out anything about what may have happened, I'm offering his Codex 2.1.1 
version that I had downloaded in August of 2018. That appears to be the last 
version. I know it works with the Kindle for PC version 1.17 linked to on my 
web site above.

I will try and give an explanation of how to use the app, but since the web 
site is gone that previously had the information, this is coming from my memory 
and experience. I'm open to edits or additions.

after you have installed the Kindle for PC version 1.17, and logged into it 
wiht your Amazon/Kindle ID, be sure to not allow it to update the software! 
Then, install Codex from the link below.

When you download a book with the Kindle for PC, take note of where the 
download folder is located and find the . .azw file, which will have a 
meaningless name like: "B079DYG6L7-EBOK.azw."
Now, bring up the context menu with Shift+f10 or the applications key and press 
the letter x. This will open the codex conversion screen.

I arrow down once to the convert to submenu and right arrow.
I get the following options:
* Kindle
* Microsoft Word 2007
* ePub
* Compressed HTML
* Mobipocket
* PDF
* Rich text format
* Plain text

I hav no idea what to do with Compressed html files that end up with an 
extension of htmlz. However, I use the ePub option and books read great in 
Voice Dream Reader and retain all the headings, chapters, etc. Once you pick a 
format to convert your Kindle book to, press enter and wait for it to tell you 
it is done.

Then I tab to open folder, which takes you to the default folder Codex created 
when it was installed where you can then copy your converted file wherever you 
wish.

That is what I can tell you. Here is the download link for the Codex program.

Codex by James Scholes


Thanks to Alan Lemley for discovering that James Scholes web site seems to
be no more. Never fear, I had kept the last version of the Codex
installation file so please read on.

P>

Here is a little section from his old web site. A few years ago, I wrote a
tutorial which guided people through the installation and configuration of
software for the purposes of gaining access to books purchased from the
Amazon Kindle Store. The guide proved popular, but it required heavy use of
the command line, making it unsuitable and daunting for quite a lot of
people, not to mention that it was an absolute nightmare to troubleshoot if
anything went wrong. Which it frequently did.
Subsequently, in 2014, I started to develop a small prototype application to
make the process easier and more intuitive, not only for people wanting to
read Kindle eBooks, but also for me when people needed help. I named it
Codex, a word used from the 16th century onwards to denote, now ancient,
manuscripts in book form. In the second half of 2015, I finally rewrote that
prototype to include the functionality I wanted it to have from the start,
and the software is now publicly available to download.
Please note, that you can only convert books you have purchased and only for
your use--you cannot share them with others without violating the copyright
laws and cheating the author out of their tiny royalties.

Kindle For PC version 1.17, which you can get here:
