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

[Amanda Lee]

Kindle is supported via Alexa.

Just say:
Open my Kindle book.

You will also be prompted to turn on  the accessibility feature if you want it.

I haven't read any books in a while, but I just opened a book that I downloaded awhile back which is an air fryer cookbook.

I know it will respond to pause and resume.  Perhaps forward and back and so on.

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.
