I don't think you can do it. At least on kindle players, it only allows you to
copy a certain percentage of the book and once you have done that percent, you
aren't allowed to copy any more. Maybe it's different for the Kindle PC but I
would be surprised if Amazon would allow the whole book to be copied and pasted
anywhere; it would circumventthe whole idea of drm.

Unless I'm not fully understanding how NVDA will work with the new
Kindle format, I can actually see how a Kindle book can be imported into
Voice Dream Reader. Once you open a Kindle book using NVDA, you could
copy and paste the entire book into another file and then import that
book into VDR, either via iTunes or an email attachment.

Subject: [vi-kindle] for those that do kindle book conversions
hi all. an interesting read for those that use kindle for pc and/or
conversions using codex. i did a copy and paste. below.
Kindle for PC
Kindle for PC allows you to manage your e-book collection and read any
of the titles you have purchased on your home computer or tablet.
Amazon has just issued a monumental update that includes typesetting
enhancements, search improvements, and a text-to-speech feature which
allows the app to read some e-Books aloud to you.
All of these new updates were made possible because Amazon no longer
delivers e-books into your account with the AZW format, instead they
are now sent in KFX.
There is lots of conjecture about the KFX e-book format, simply
because it came out in 2016. One of the biggest factors is that it is
digitally encrypted and nobody has managed to crack the DRM system,
which prevents piracy. The KFX format is also “pre-rendered” to some
extent, such as having hyphenation pre calculated and added to the
text as either soft-hyphens or html tags. This is similar to what Kobo
does with kepub. This allows Amazon to push out their new Ember and
Bookerly formats and to make e-books like way better than with
Caecilia.
stay well ... william
