Text to Speech of Calibre PDF on a Kindle
Hi Everyone. I am visually-impaired and require TTS for ebooks. I am taking a personal trainer cert course that requires a specific text book, ACSM Resources for the Personal Trainer. I was able to download a free PDF version of the book which was formatted by Calibre software, and a free PDF to Speech app on the Kindle. The PDF is over 1000 pages, and it gets hung up when opening in the app.
Is there a better solution to use TTS for the Calibre PDF of the text book on a Kindle? |

Edit #2: I took a look at Amazon.ca's page for the Kindle edition. It gives the length as 36 pages which suggests the only direct download is a sample. The instructions on the page state: After purchasing this product, Amazon will e-mail you an Access Code and redemption instructions for this online content. In some cases, you may also require a course code from your Instructor. Please consult the e-mail for additional details on redeeming your code and accessing the online content The page also states that this is text to speech enabled.
