Hello, Bookshare.org is working on an unpack and decrypt tool for Linux. I have offered to be a beta tester for this tool. They may still be looking for beta testers. You will have to register and submit proof of print disability to become one. After you have done this, you can also volunteer to submit scanned books or edit books submitted by others. You can earn credits toward the setup and yearly fees through volunteer work. It seems that bookshare.org prefers rich text or rtf files. Plain teeext files are also acceptable. I'm wondering why they chose rtf and not html. Where can I find programs that can handle rtf? I've been told that ali-word and OpenOffice can do se, but I suspect that they require X-window.
