But if you can't even register the Kindle software on the Mac without encountering accessibility issues, how can you download books? Allison On Jun 15, 2012, at 11:32 PM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Hi, > > you can probably replace caliber with Stanza in the instructions given. That > app is compl

I think it would be worth it if all of the software needed to complete the process is accessible. Dropbox is, but what about the other components? Allison On Jun 15, 2012, at 1:44 PM, Scott Rumery wrote: > I just don't think that it is worth all of this work. JMO > > Scott > On Jun 15, 2012, at

Hello. To the best of my knowledge, Calibre cannot be made accessible without a total rewrite, as the toolkit used to display the text is not accessible in itself. In windows, and I strongly suspect on the Mac's terminal as well, however, the command line tools are accessible and fairly easy to use

That was my thought as well. But Stanza would have to have the options discussed in that article. I'd mess with the app and report back, but I don't have the time. If someone else substitutes Stanza in the process successfully, I'd love to hear about it. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 15, 2012, at

Very true. I keep hoping that accessibility is fixed whenever Calibre updates, but nope. Worse, I can't expain to the developers what exactly the problem is other than a vague, "Turn on VoiceOver and shut your eyes. All you'll hear is unknown, and you won't be able to interact." Jane On J

There's one problem. I can't even get the app to be registered on the Mac, let alone figure how to download books. They made their app as inaccessible as possible. What is it going to take? A lawsuit to force them to include full, not partial, accessibility and unlimited reading of books with t
