Hello. I'll briefly chime in on the accessibility of various reading programs. MS Reader in itself is useless from what I've read but there is a program to convert .lit to html so that can be forced to work if it must. The rest, including Adobe Reader are also quite useless and inaccessible. I put Adobe in that class because they have done a lot and there have been great strides but it still isn't enough. I am running Window-Eyes 5.5 beta 1. WE pioneered support for Adobe Acrobat. However, it is still difficult to convert to plain text and to move from page to page. There is a key which advances to the next page but if pages are very short or if there are lots of pictures, you'll be hitting that key often (Control Pgdn) because each page will only consist of 3-4 lines if that. You can set it to load the full document into one huge page but it will most likely lock up the computer. Also, who wants to read a 3,500 line book all at once? OK, just remember your current line number and go back to it later. Then you have to wait an eternity for the page to load back into the MSAA buffer. No thanks. Also, all blank lines are stripped so it's hard to quote and preserve paragraphs or any other formatting. Finally, the latest Adobe Reader requires Windows XP which keeps all of us Windows 98 users out. So, what do I use? I convert literally every book to plain text. I use an ancient DOS viewing program which shows 22 lines per screen. If the book is very large, I just hit F1 and go to screen 300 for example. If I hit Space, it automatically scrolls through a screen at a time and reads very nicely. Because it is DOS, lines which are more than 80 characters need to be split apart with hard returns. Fortunately almost all of the PG books are perfect. I just use my view program to read the text file and it works well. It also has a search feature. The only thing it lacks is an easy way to drop a bookmark in my current position.
