If by "hard books pages" you mean physical books, you need a
scanner, and something that will do OCR, optical character
recognition.

Qread can do this but it scrambles character encoding
sometimes, rending things like quotation marks and accents
a whole lot of nonsense characters on my braille display.

Subject: Re: [nvda] eBook Readers with NVDA
I use QRead myself, but lots of people don't like it
because the author will abandon things for long periods of
time. Still, for me, it works pretty well, I haven't found
another program that reads all of the formats it does. But
you do have other options. Edge can read .EPUB files, I'm
pretty sure, and lots of things can read PDFs nowadays,
most browsers for example. If they won't come up as text
you'll have to OCR them with something anyway, in order to
read them.
I've never gotten Calibre to do much of anything.
Personally I wouldn't restrict myself to something like
the iPhone, not only because I don't own one, but also
because then you're stuck with whatever Apple has.
There are lots of books that aren't in Apple's format.
Another option you didn't mention is Kindle for PC. This
is accessible and works well with NVDA, so much so that I
signed up for Kindle unlimited. There's also Bookshare,
and NLS if you're in the US, or whatever library service
you've got in your country, in case you're not hooked up
with something like that.
