Hi Richard, I hope Codex by James Scholes is still available. When I executed the link to the Codex project provided in your link below, I received a Error 1016 Origin DNS error. I also got this error when I tried executing a previously made bookmark to Codex using Firefox.

Codex by James Scholes Here is a little section from his web site. I encourage any avid readers to follow the link below and read about it and install the utility. 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. 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: http://turner42.com/KindleForPC-installer-1.17.44183.exe Codex project web site: http://jscholes.net/how-to-remove-drm-from-kindle-books-with-codex-2/ I use the convert to ePub and then put it in Voice Dream Reader and you get all the headings, etc. I very much doubt it will work with images. IN fact, I'm pretty sure it won't, so I hope the book also has real text and the pictures are just getting in the way.

It's a Jewish prayerbook, and odds are that it's pictures of the pages, rather than the actual text. I know there used to be software that could convert Kindle eBooks into accessible formats. If I end up with an image-based file, such as an images-only PDF, I can run it through Voice Dream Reader to recognize the text, so I'm fine if the software creates an image file. Does anyone know of software that can do this? I have access to computers running MacOS and Windows, so either is fine. Thanks so much for any help! I'd like to have this for my nephew's bar mitzvah in a couple of weeks. Best, Anna -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
