Older versions of the Amazon Kindle reading app for PC will still work with Codex. Just be sure to disable the auto update feature in the Kindle program immediately after installing.

If it updates before you can tell it not too, uncheck the auto update checkbox in options anyway and re-install the older version on top of it. That should work. That, or disconnect from the Internet before installing the Kindle for PC program after downloading the setup file. Then go into the options or settings, whatever it's called, uncheck the auto update checkbox, then connect to the Internet again.

Here's the page where James Scholes, the Codex creator, talks about the program's compatibility with versions of the Kindle reading app for the pc:

http://jscholes.net/using-codex-with-kindle-for-pc-1-19/

Keeping this sort of on topic for the list, a book  does need to be converted to another format that Voice Dream will accept before reading with anything but the Kindle app.

Richard,
It was my understanding that the codex app that you referred to does not work with the current version of accessible Kindle for PC. Has that changed? If so, I would really like details.

Here is a slightly long answer.
You can use the Kindle app, which is free, to read the books.
If you have a Windows computer, you could also convert them using an application call Codex so they could be read in Voice Dream Reader. If you don't have a Bookshare account, you might consider that and see if the books are available through Bookshare.org <http://Bookshare.org>.
Bookshare is $50 per year for all the books you want.
HTH,
Richard

Hello everyone,


I am considering purchasing some Kendal Ebooks. I've never done this,
and know nothing as to how it works. But I want to do this, because
there are some books that I want to read, that are not available in an
audio format.


Anyway, I have Voice Dream Reader. will this work for Ebooks?

Or would I need a different App than this?

If so, what might some options be?

And how accessible might the Apps be?


Any information or help is very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri
