who me?
I am not using Linux at all, command line or otherwise. I simply sought to
suggest a solution for the person asking about hacking onto the book.
If Amazon can create an android application, they can create a general
mobile one which at least in theory would work in command line Linux.
There are as many ways to accommodate any body difference, including sight
loss, as there are people.
No one is limiting or better than the others, they are just different.
Yes amazon must be accessible, but they are not going to do this without
creating tools that work in general, more than one of them across
platforms. They give away the app, so the free app should work for all.

See, this is 100% bogus.
Amazon needs to make their service accessible.
They don't need to make it accessible on command-line Linux.
Kindle's accessibility is now ironically the best accessible book
reading app for Android I've found. better than Google Play Books;
far better than Go Read (the Bookshare app).
My understanding is that the accessibility of the stand-alone Kindle
devices is reasonable, and their Apple accessibility has been good for a
while.
I just tried Amazon Cloud Reader on debian using Iceweasel and it worked
fine once it loaded even for a DRM-protected book. Cloud Reader on Chromium seems like it kind of
wants to work but I can't get to the text of the book.
I didn't install the Chrome Store app though.
I appreciate that you want to use the command line. However, that's
your choice, and has nothing to do with your accessibility needs.
That choice is what is limiting you here.
