Hi Linda

I convert all my Kindle books using Codex software and an older version of the Kindle for PC because the latest versions don’t let you do that.  Then I run the converted files through Duxbury which has a really nice template for the Canute 360.  But if you don’t have a Canute or Duxbury, you can use one of the free Braille translation programs to convert your files to BRF format that would let you read them on the Focus fifth gen or Orbit Reader.

I didn't think you could convert Kindle books! I try to read with my orbit through the phone but don't really like doing that, it would be so much nicer just to have them on the sd card. What do I need to do, do I have to pay for Duxbury or would any of the free translation packages convert just as well?

From Linda

This is exactly what I do. I convert all my Kindle purchases and read that way.

Kind regards,

If you have Duxbury, use it to translate and Save As a BRF file.

You should then be able to read the BRF files on a Canute 360 which displays 9 lines of up to 40 cells.

So, I would love to be able to read my old kindle books. What's the best cheap braille display I can use?
