your books may be locked. Or they may be images and not have imbedded text.
If you have k1000, try opening them from within k1000 and see if OCR occurs.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] OT: Ebooks and PDF. I'm going nuts here and need
help
Hi everyone,
I really apologize for this e-mail, but I'm going out of my mind and I'm
hoping someone on this mailing list can help me out in any way possible.
Just some background infor: For a while I've been interested in a few ebooks
on a particular website. I'd never bought an ebook before, so was very leery.
Especailly since two of them came in PDF format. While I haven't had pleasant
experiences with PDF, I've done okay.
Anyway, so this morning I took a chance and purchase the books. Well, I've
been spending practically all day trying to figure out why Jaws won't read
them. According to a couple of websites that talked about using screen readers
with Adobe, I should be able to read it.
However, that hasn't been the case. I'm pretty sure the file is opening, but
no matter what I do, I can't seem to read the file.
I followed as much as I could of the websites FAQ stuff and I believe I have
the right Adobe, but I just can't read it! The books didn't cost me that much,
but I would hate to think that I paid money for something that I can't enjoy.
I've already e-mailed the website, but as it's Sunday, they won't be
responding until at the very least Monday. I'm too nuts over this situation to
wait, which is why I'm e-mailing the list. Has anyone had experiences like
mine? Did they ever get past them? Or am I just out of luck?
I'll say thanks in advance. And if anyone wants to e-mail me privately, my
e-mail is lemina007@xxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks,
Natalie
