OP's question might be better asked on the r/ereader sub for wider answers as the question posed here is more about e-reader devices than about Calibre. I also came here to say Kobo so secondingĪctually edit: Kobo does not have text to speech as an accessibility feature on any of their devices, unlike kindle. Library loans cannot have DRM removed and Kindle Unlimited content is not available for download. Note that this only works for your own content. Press v to open it in the Calibre reader and it should open without an error. Go to Calibre and Add that downloaded ebook.

Select the target device and the file will download. Click the drop down menu next to the book and select 'Download & transfer via USB'. Then go into your Amazon account and to Content and Devices/Manage your content. You still need an eink device registered to your Amazon account, and the serial number for that device configured in the NoDRM DeDRM plugin in Calibre. I apologize that I don't know any accessibility hangups or shortcuts for this, as Amazon has a busy interface with popups and what not. However, removing DRM still works today with newer devices by getting the ebooks right from your Amazon account. That broke when Amazon updated their DRM schemes on newer devices. The old way on old devices involved getting the ebook from the device. I just need to know I'll be able to use the device enough to transfer books to it I won't be reading with it. Can anyone help me figure this out? I'd ideally like to avoid Amazon entirely, but there are books you can't find anywhere else, and I'm willing to spend a bit of money to crack them if necessary. Amazon eventually added a feature called VoiceView to its later devices, but I don't know if any of those will let you transfer and convert books. The problem with getting a Kindle device is that some of the older ones are completely unusable by me. But reading in the Kindle app has drawbacks on any platform for me, so I'M pretty annoyed about the recent regression in being able to convert books. I'm totally blind and have been using the same reading app for seven years, and before that, I used the same portable reading device for 10. I'm aware a lot of people here are using Calibre to remove DRM from Kindle books, so it seemed worth a shot. This is a little off-topic but I don't really know where else to post it.
