While I'm not sure about the legal ramifications of breaking DRM, I
wouldn't call running the Amazon Kindle app on the Mac using VMWare or
Bootcamp as being 'available' on the Mac. Sort of like saying an
automobile can be driven just fine on a railroad track by loading and
towing it on a flatbed train car.

Certainly the only way I can use the Kindle app on a Mac is via a
fusion Window.
Whilst it is possible to break the DRM of Kindle Books and whilst a
legal defense for doing so may possibly be available for visually
impaired people under the 2003 Act I am not certain that it can be
assumed to hold force without some legal test. So active discussion
of strategies for breaking DRM on this list may not be appropriate. .
The rights of visually impaired people to breach DRM and copyright is
linked to the lack of accessible delivery and on other platforms at
least Amazon has made available a number of accessible alternative,
and these are available on a Mac via boot camp or Fusion. Amazon
could conceivably cite these in justification of preserving the
integrity of their DRM. . I agree that the Mac OS should be a
platform that accessibility should be extended to though.
There are a number of commercial tools and there is nothing to stop
you Googling something like Kindle DRM Removal.

I think the Kindle app for iPad and iPhone is accessible. I’m curious
about the Kindle Mac app myself. I’ve used it on the iPhone though. I
think it would be easier than trying to convert them although I’d
like to know how to do that too.

Ok, not sure if this went through earlier but I’m going to resend it
hopefully without all the random. Forgive the crossposting but I’m
stumped. I was trying to find a DrM removal tool to read Kindle
books in Voice Dream, and in the process realized that I needed to
possibly find out how to move around in documents and data to
transfer things to my phone, say to Voice Dream, or remove a book
from Kindle, to run through the protection tool since I don’t think
the version of Kindle for the Mac is accessible, and have hit a
brick wall. Can someone direct me in all this where to find the
tools necessary, how to get to documents and data running the latest
iTunes 12.1 running the latest Yosemite, and an iPhone 5 S running
iOs 8.1.3. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again and take care
y’all.
