[Electronics-Talk] Software that converts kindle books into word docs?

[Taylor Durrett]

I’d like to know about this too. Unfortunately I’ve bought a couple of books from Kendal that I can’t read because it doesn’t support voiceover reading or even reading with Alexa. Unfortunately I have several like that, but not all of my Kindle books are like that.
