Hi Alice,
Open the File Menu (ALT F).
Arrow down and see if there is a SAVE TO TEXT option.
If there is, press enter on it and you will be placed in the regular SAVE
dialogue, where you can choose where to save it and with what name.
If such an option does not exist in the version you are using, then keep
asking on the list, because I don't know any other way.
Always,
Barbara Anne

Agreed here. Personally, I like text files because I prefer to read in
braille and so can easily transfer them to a braille display device. I still
find PDF files to be a pain in the arse with jaws..they work but not
pleasantly; I just convert them all to .txt files and delete the stupid
.pdf, which is always bigger than it needs to be.

Honestly, though, if I had my true druthers, just a plain old .txt file is
just wonderful for an eBook. I read a lot of the stuff on Project Gutenberg
and much of it is in plain text format. Bookmarks, you say? Just put an
odd character combination where you stopped reading and do a jaws find to
it. I like inserting a string like khkj with a space on either side of it
where I left off and just deleting it when I resume reading. I've never had
Jaws encounter a problem finding it, the format is always accessible, and
the file size is tiny compared to just about anything else you can find.
Just read the Three Musketeers like that over the weekend using jaws with
the Australian English Karen voice which I find insanely pleasant to listen
to never mind the oddity of an American English speaker choosing Ausie
English to read a book originally written in French.

PDF is a good way to read Ebooks. I also found that if you can find ebooks
that are in a web based format it is easy to read them.
