Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any luck in using the Calibre E-Book Library Manager? 

VO is able to read the titles of the windows and the menu bar, but not the 
content of the windows themselves. 

I have however managed to convert some books into EPUB by pure chance. So 
hopefully this might be of use to someone.

After you first open the app the first screen is the welcome wizard. By 
continuously pressing Enter you will eventually get to the Calibre main window. 
By default the Calibre Library where your converted books are stored is placed 
in your Home folder. I have no idea what the other defaults are, except that 
EPUB is the default output.

To add a book you can either locate it in Finder and use "open with" to add it 
to Calibre or you can add it directly from the "Add Books" option in the menu 
bar. Your new book will be at the top of the list, though conveniently, the 
list is not spoken. Once you select to convert the book (from the menu bar, VO 
will read you the title of the book. You can convert more than one, at the same 
time, but I've not tried this.

In the new window, pressing Shift+Tab followed by Enter will start the 
conversion, with VO announcing its commencement. VO will not announce when it's 
finished, but you'll find the converted book in your Calibre Library folder 
which as I said is in your Home folder by default.

if anyone knows of any more accessible software please let me know. I hope this 
is useful to someone.

Take care
James
