Wow!
I'd be better off with Blio.
Blessings, Joshua

Hello,
I was kind of confused frankly. I guess it is because A, Kindle is not
accessible directly from Amazon and B, the kindle reader isn't accessible.
But other than that it is pretty easy to get HTML Kindle books. You need to
download both the converter program:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14968661/Kindle%20converter.zip
and the latest accessible Kindle for PC that I believe is:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14968661/KindleForPC-installerNew.exe
There is instructions in the zip folder, first link. Please let me know if
you have any questions.
Oh, and note that you aren't to redistribute the HTML files once they are
converted from the kindle format. They are only for personal use.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

With all due respect, Brandon, did you pay attention at this year's
convention?
Kendall is inaccessible!
That's why the NFB is suing Amazon!
Thanks, Joshua

Hello,
Kindle should have them, but you won't get the Braille or descriptions for
the math book.
Have you checked NBP or NLS?
Thanks,

Obtaining textbooks in braille is a really big issue for many of my
students.  We should bring this to the NFB.  Advocacy in this area is
necessary.

Hi,
Do you have a victor stream or something like that?
