Standard Ebooks

I'm getting old and my eye sight is going. Are there any read-a-loud options you can recommend? The Edge browser does a decent job on PDF's in a voice you can select, but it's kind of hacky for an entire book.

Have you tried using NVDA? It's an open source and free screen reader - https://www.nvaccess.org/

Thanks! This looks promising for the visually impaired.

I find it useful for reading out stuff on a page as well despite not having vision impairments, if you have a long form article you can just set it off and it will read it out to you.

if you have an Alexa it can read ebooks you've bought on Amazon.

the question is clearly asking how not to do this on Amazon.

the whole purpose of this thread is not to rely on Amazon
