Codex is free, I did donate as he did such a good job. I sent a link in a previous note. Here it is again.

Hi William. Can you buy Codex. Right now I'm looking for instructions only. It's for a friend of a friend.

Hi. I also use codex. If you need another head in the mix also glad to help, although never used braille. However, if I can get the file sent as an attachment, see no reason why I can't convert to text. So, you've got options.

You also need kindle for pc.  The instructions are on this page.  Once
you have selected the book and have it downloaded to kindle for pc as you
normally would, this program can convert it to plain text.    I don't know
if your device will convert to grade 2 or not, if not you'll have to
do that

with a program, I think the nfb braille program will do that, I can
dig that

up if you need it.  I've known braille for 60 years or more, but I
don't read books that way any more, just rather listen.  Write off
list if I can help.
