Hi Teresa. Yep, I have my email address listed as one of the approved addresses, so I'm really not sure what the issue is. I tried installing the send 2 Kindle program for windows, but when I right click it, it appears that none of the elements are readable with jaws. Do you know if it should take a long time to receive a book through your documents? I converted a book from Bookshare yesterday and still do not see it. I also have not received any email errors from Amazon, so I am not sure what's going on. *shrugs*.
