I tried using notepad and I stripped out the copyright stuff like you did. I saved it as a text file and the Kindle will read it without any problems. Why do you send it to Amazon to convert into a Kindle file?

Also, I strip out the all the copyright notice information, so I can start right at the beginning of the book once it's loaded into my Kindle. - Gene

You'll be asked to enter your password a couple times as you do it, but it works great. If I missed something, let me know, it's been a while since I've done it. - Gene

I forget exactly how long I have had it. I think maybe a couple of years. I have one book on it that my dad helped me pick out and buy. The kindle also reads txt files so I can use the usb cord to put books or school work from my braillenote on to my kindle.

How long have you had your Kindle and do you have any content on it now?

A PC with With Windows XP and NDVA as a screen reader would do the trick. How do you connect to the web on the Braillenote?

Thank you, but unfortunately, I don't have a computer. Besides my kindle, the only things I have that can go on the internet are my BrailleNote Apex and my iPhone 4s.

They are the original Kindle with a split keyboard and no TTS, the Kindle 2 with a keyboard with tiny bump like keys and a joystick and TTS for reading only, the Kindle DX with TTS for reading only and is a larger ereader with rectangular keys and a joystick, and finally the Kindle 3, later called the Kindle Keyboard, which has the same bump like keys but the joystick was replaced by the square with recessed area in the middle and the only Kindle with talking menus. - Gene

Sandy Licht Turn right, then go straight! Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
