I did a Google search and found a page that explains the problem with the

Subject: RE: accessing a Kindle eBook that refuses to play nicely with
VoiceOver
Hi Anna,
Here is a snippet from my web site's Useful Apps page:
I just did this with a book today in fact.
Codex by James Scholes
Here is a little section from his web site. I encourage any avid readers to
follow the link below and read about it and install the utility.
A few years ago, I wrote a tutorial which guided people through the
installation and configuration of software for the purposes of gaining
access to books purchased from the Amazon Kindle Store. The guide proved
popular, but it required heavy use of the command line, making it unsuitable
and daunting for quite a lot of people, not to mention that it was an
absolute nightmare to troubleshoot if anything went wrong. Which it
frequently did.
Subsequently, in 2014, I started to develop a small prototype application to
make the process easier and more intuitive, not only for people wanting to
read Kindle eBooks, but also for me when people needed help. I named it
Codex, a word used from the 16th century onwards to denote, now ancient,
manuscripts in book form. In the second half of 2015, I finally rewrote that
prototype to include the functionality I wanted it to have from the start,
and the software is now publicly available to download.
Please note, that you can only convert books you have purchased and only for
your use--you cannot share them with others without violating the copyright
laws and cheating the author out of their tiny royalties.
In order to convert your Kindle books with Codex, you will need to install
Kindle For PC version 1.17, which you can get here:
KindleForPC-installer-1.17.44183:

Codex project web site:
http://jscholes.net/how-to-remove-drm-from-kindle-books-with-codex-2/
I use the convert to ePub and then put it in Voice Dream Reader and you get
all the headings, etc.
I very much doubt it will work with images. IN fact, I'm pretty sure it
won't, so I hope the book also has real text and the pictures are just
getting in the way.
HTH,
Richard

Subject: accessing a Kindle eBook that refuses to play nicely with VoiceOver
Hi everyone,
I purchased a Kindle eBook on my phone and was told, "VoiceOver does not
support this content." It's a Jewish prayerbook, and odds are that it's
pictures of the pages, rather than the actual text. I know there used to be
software that could convert Kindle eBooks into accessible formats. If I end
up with an image-based file, such as an images-only PDF, I can run it
through Voice Dream Reader to recognize the text, so I'm fine if the
software creates an image file. Does anyone know of software that can do
this? I have access to computers running MacOS and Windows, so either is
fine.
Thanks so much for any help! I'd like to have this for my nephew's bar
mitzvah in a couple of weeks.
Best,
Anna
