Dear Rod,
I have had the exact same experiences. However, there is no way to tell
prior to purchasing a kindle book the type of file it is. I have found
Amazon customer services are fine at refunding the cost of the book. I don't
know of any way to convert the file to an accessible format. The only
possible option is to buy a cheap kindle book. That sort of defeats the
purpose of installing the kindle accessible app for pc.
Live long and prosper, John

This should be the last message on the subject. When I tried to read the
book with the Kindle PC app, I got the message that there isno text on this
page. The book I was trying to read is Captain America Civil War by Ed
Brubaker. The book appears to be a scanned image. Converting with Codex, I
tried EPub, PDF, and TXT, and no text was displayed. When attempting to
read the PDF, I got the “Empty Document” message. QRead couldn’t parce the
book—not surprising.The
Virtual View script was no help. The question now is, how can one determine
he has such a file before purchasing a Kindle book?
