Does it make sense to use open book to read the graphical text? OB is the program I use for reading anything that jaws cannot.

Subject: Re: Accessible method of converting Kindle book? Yes, the Kindle app works very well on the iPhone and other iOS devices. Actually, JAWS is used in the accessible version of Kindle for PC to speak the menus of the program and other controls. The voices that come with the program speak the text of the book. JAWS can't read or navigate the text of the book on the screen directly because it's in graphical form. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Convenient OCR feature can be used with this graphical text, but what you get may not make much sense if the print is in columns.
